Good luck, please do let us know, whatever the outcome - whether it's champagne or sweet tea and hugs!richiew2k said:Hi All

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

Yep, good luck - looking forward to the "court" report.1

If you win, and we hope you do, dont forget to ask about costs!
Very easy to do in the heat of the moment

I WON!!
Gladstones didnt attend so just me and the judge, just gonna let the nerves calm down and will give a run of events
Thanks again for everyones help
Really appreciated8 -
Have Gs ever attended a phone hearing? (They never used to attend physical hearings - they used a rent-a-lawyer. I guess they're still playing the numbers game).2

Nice going!
As full a report as you can give us,including case number court judge and reasons for you winning are good
Did yo uget your costs? 3 -
As regards Gs dropping - if i were them I would be doing so right now.
A contested hearing costs them, meaning their client, a min of £200 fot the rent a legals time.
Thats on top of the £50 to get to hearing (the £50 filing is obv bogus and never actually paid to Gs, but you will ne ver get proof of this)
Right now, parking companies are losing money hand over first, so liekly arent taking the risk on a real contested hearing - their break even point is 5 times higher with them attending than with them not attending.3 -
No probs do I post that publicly on here or by PM to you?
I bottled the costs, the judge said he wont award unreasonable behaviour costs but i could have standard costs and had I lost any time this afternoon and as the call had only gone on for a short amount of time and I just wanted to get off the call i just said its ok i can go back to work now. So that was my fault3 -
Post it here with your personal details redacted, but do please include the name of the court and the court claim number. This will assist the regulars greatly.
One final thing, WELL DONE!I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.
