Going to court for parking in my own spot

Gladstones are suing you. Why do you think they will provide you with any help of more benefit to you than to them?

Thanks. I suppose I am assuming that people are capable of being reasonable, part of my day job involves contract dispute resolution and informing the other party of their position has often, in my experience, changed their stance.

Naturally I'm after cancelling not help! haha.

Cheers.

I'm due a call from someone in litigation at Gladstones that can discuss particulars in my case and make decisions. Is there anything that shouldn't be discussed as I forgot to mention that this call had been arranged.

I was going to simply mention the primacy of the lease contract and discuss what it says. Any point? Absolutely don't do it?

Naturally don't want to damage my case.

Why do you want to talk to such a incompetent solicitor ???

All they will want is for you to pay and probably throw in a few threats about CCJ's etc etc.

If you are confident as you say, go to court, get a judge to whoop them (again) and claim your costs against them.

With a judge you are dealing with the organ grinder and not some monkey just sitting on the organ

Good luck with that. Your mistake is, you are imagining reasonable people.

Instead, you will get people who work with Hurley or Davies or whichever of the two of them is currently admitting to association with Gladstones.

This is Gladstones 'solicitors' who had (then hid under the carpet) the biggest scam conflict of interest imaginable in the private parking world:

Those same people run/are connected with the IPC and the IAS that anonymously handles 'appeals'.

You will be speaking to a robot, programmed to extract money from you. Not a decent solicitor that you might be thinking.

Haha! :rotfl:

You were all so right, just got off the phone from perhaps the rudest and most sarcastic woman I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. Just tried to make me feel stupid and did nothing but talk over me.

I kept asking why one PCN is being taken to court whilst the other five remain in limbo. Got some silly reply that made no sense.

Asked her what the court would think about taking me to court separately for all instances of identical circumstance with the only exception being the date. Question was not answered. Phone call ended 'prematurely' by her.

Absolute scum. Eh well!

MrDramatique

Sorry, this is actually brings me to the question. Should I be formally requesting that all of these PCNs be considered in the one case or is it more likely for them to drop the rest, if they fail on the first?

You haven't yet got a court claim for the others, so you can't ask for them all to be consolidated. If you do get a claim for the others before your first hearing, that's the point at which you write to the court requesting consolidation.

Let sleeping dogs lie for now.

That's what happens when you deal with untrained animals.

Go and zap them in court and don't forget the bag of nuts for them

For the record I really do want to avoid going to court twice, or possibly even six times! If that can't be done, then it can't be done. I highly doubt I'll receive a court claim for the other five in this time period one of Gladstone phone monkeys essentially admitted that the remainder will be dealt with after my first.

I suppose if I win, the remaining five will be dealt with differently.

If you have two claims in play you CAN get them consolidated, this is all over the forum on any results you get when you search:

two claims? abuse of process

...and the wording is pre-written for the courts, on those threads.

But you are not at that stage, yet! You don't have 2 claims. If it happens, do the search.
