    So it was 2 - 0 to the Defendants at full time, and no penalties allowed.
    ......and no VAR (leave to appeal) in sight! Well done C-m and ParkingMad.

    Well done CM, great result. And especially beating a barrister at his own game.
    This man ROCKS. He can pull a rabbit out of a very deep hole while the hounds around him whimper in submission at his feet.

    Seems he's lost his touch! :D

    I wonder if BWL will be adding to his testimonial page?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Brilliant coupon-mad, a breathtaking result.

    Love to be a fly on the wall when the cartel, the legals who all add on the same fake £60, inc VCS, get together for their next move to further highlight the parking scam.

    DJ Taylor made it very clear why he struck out the the first case and I wonder what part of that the Barrister did not understand ?

    Will BWLegal attempt to appeal to the circuit judge ?
    In the closed shop of judges, as this was such an important case as Judge Taylor was being accused of an error, I feel certain that the Circuit judge was fully aware to the point of approving the decision of DJ Grand

    We will now wait with baited breath to see if BWLegal and others like Gladstones etc accept they lost with the fake £60 scam

    Will Britannia take this as far to the Supreme court and argue against those judges who said ...
    198. ''...The charge has to be and is set at a level which enables the managers to recover the costs of operating the scheme...


    We will see

    The barrister was brave enough to assert that he felt there was 'institutional bias' in the courts against parking firms who are 'unpopular' and then tore into how 'brief and vague' DJ Taylor's June strike out Order had been, and that it was unfair as it had given the poor Claimant no information as to what was meant as regards 'going behind' the POFA and the Beavis case...

    DJ Grand almost lost his rag at that point (clearly BW Legal were unaware that DJ Grand uses exactly the same strike out wording himself!).
    I think that's called "failing the attitude test". It really is setting yourself up for failure if you start off by insulting the judiciary in general. No matter how "impartial" the DJ is supposed to be, this will hardly bring him on your side.

    You are so right Slithy. Maybe lessons can be learned by the Barrister by watching Kavanagh QC on catch-up

    Brilliant report and very well done CM.

    They always seem to use Chaplair v Kumari as justification yet it relates to a written contract and monies that had actually been paid out. These are also disputed claims that are disputed at the outset.

    Don't think the penny ever dropped with BWLegal with that one.

    Let's hope the penny has now dropped because BWLEGAL LOST and so did BRITANNIA

    I think it's the last resort when they start claiming bias. They know they are losing.
