    Well done on your win. We love a court report especially when the defendant has won. :)

    Fantastic result and a top class court report. We really do appreciate the feedback, so thank you very much for that. Hope your F-I-L can relax now that the OPS crap is behind him.

    Well done @Molts, really pleased for you both.  
    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.

    I suspect the username of the other person who helped you is ParkingMad. She is heavily involved with C-m in fighting OPS wherever they infest.

    Well done, and thanks for such a detailed court report.

    Thank you. To be honest we would have both been relieved to put it to an end after 4 years of fighting, win or lose. Winning was the icing on the cake!

    Brilliant report!

    What a result!  I always felt this might be a difficult one to argue - not a shoo-in by any means -  due to the photos we saw off-forum, but well done!

    Firstly I want to extend my utmost appreciation and thanks to C-M and a significant other (sorry I only know her real name, not her handle on here but if I find it out, I'll amend. You know who you are!) for their tremendous support and advice in what was likely to be a difficult case.
    She's @ParkingMad on here. So happy our support helped.

    Young 'arry never approaches Defendants outside, prior to hearings.  He's not confident enough in my view.  It's the arrogant third party legal reps who play that card. 


    Thank you! I did indeed feel like I was defending the indefensible at times as admittedly the parking was very poor at the time of the event but I was confident that they had made so many errors in process that we had a fair chance of winning. With a good Judge to boot we prevailed.

    Well done, great court report - wonderful to read that the judge shot down the "we haven't received the defendant's witness statement" rubbish!
