    Finding finding Landowner of a property is relatively easy. For a piece of land much harder
    Have to get a map to scale and draw boundaries 
    None of the businesses are prepared to give up the name all citing Data Protection , despite telling them it is covered by law if there is a court claim ! 
    No wonder these guys thrive 
  • State that the name of a company is not private data and is not covered by the DPA2018.

    Is one of the shops Strachans Chemist?  If so, just phone them and ask who the landowner is there.  I've found the landowner of a car park that way.  
    But yes, Land Registry will tell you who the landowner is for under a fiver.  
    £3 - I paid last week (not for a parking relate issue!)

    No one is prepared to give up the information ,even after explaining that it is not illegal as it in relation to a court claim ! Wimps all .Scared of the Landowner  who has asked them all to keep quiet .
    Want to start writing appeal but may have to rely on old delivery note and look at signage again .
    One shopkeeper said that he is prepared to write a note saying that many drivers are being caught out by the  faulty ANPR cameras . However that is not too helpful !
    Any  other ideas ? been all day trying to find the area on a map . Guess this is why people get wary of it all

    It actually is. He is offering a Witness Statement to be provided to the court. 

    The National Standard for ANPR accuracy is 98% read and 95% conversion to characters (say the DVLA). So if they are saying that it is less than 95%, then there is the hint of manual intervention - and the fallout from that.

    Why is that so difficult?

  • CE will discontinue close to the hearing date. 

    If you are really exorcised about this, then put in a claim (aka counterclaim) for the misuse of data. There is already a transcript of a case where they had to pay out. AFAK it was Bargepole that provided the ammunition. Add in the landowner for the "counterclaim" for fun and erudition.

    But only 50% when a double dip occurs.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    You'll need to do your maths. Its a specific 1 in 16 occurrence to generate the sequence that allows them to claim a DD.

    You are not doing a counter claim, are you?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
