    Well done !!

    Another one bites the dust !!

    We agree with you which is why we ask people to complain to their MP and to fill in those 2 government surveys whilst people can do so , change won't happen until the government changes the systems , both parking , appealing , debt collection and legal matters

    This morning, in the District Court at Winchester, having indicated to the Court that there would be an advocate, BWLegal failed to attend before Deputy District Judge Stewart.
    The judge awarded me some costs.


    Good news ... after all their bluster and timewasting nobody turned up ?  What a joke they are

    But he/she is not  A win cannot be described as such if you end up out of pocket.

    Brilliant to hear - WELL DONE!

     AND YES, WHAT A WASTE OF YOUR TIME - ANOTHER  PREMIER PARK ONE BITES THE DUST!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • So, let's talk about a counter claim for my costs. In terms of time and effort it was pretty expensive. 2 trips to the court house, a lot of paper printed, time off from work. Definitely not £25's worth.

    It won't be a counter claim , it's a claim of its own , a new claim

    Read what Zhong has posted about making claims and on what grounds

    A counterclaim can only be issued at the same time as a Defence is filed. That option is long gone.

    You could start a new claim against the PPC, but if it was pleaded on the basis of costs incurred in defending the original claim, the counter argument would be that your costs were summarily awarded after Judgment, and that has been decided res judicata.

    I see no real prospect of success with this idea.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.
