Double recovery?

But attempting to claim court costs without going to court, that cannot be legal surely?

I always get a bit concerned when I see legal questions being asked of a parking forum.

Perhaps you might be better asking on the Legal Beagles forum, where these kind of questions might be answered by more appropriately qualified people with legal matters interests.

Horses for courses! Otherwise it's a bit like asking your cat's Vet to do root canal surgery for you on your tooth.

A valid point. Not heard of Legal Beagles but I shall give a look thanks.
