Yes that's correct

No I didn't pay the PPC a penny. I obviously can't speak for the experiences of others, but to me he was very kind and had a lot of nice things to say. If the court was based on morals, no doubt I'd have won, however it's not and i had no chance. I knew that from the start of the case.

Which PPC was it please?
Next time come to us.   You were used.

Hopefully there will not be a next time! Before this id never had a fine in my life for anything, I never litter, I always pay for parking and I don't speed! I was an emotional wreck during this time! 

........ and you still haven't had a fine.  It was a speculative invoice sent by a parking scammer - see what our MPs thought of them by reading the parking bill debate by Greg Knight.

I think the PPC has already been named online - I googled.

Sorry you were used in this way but don't beat yourself up.  Glad the charges were paid for you, at least.

By who? Have you got a link for that?
Thank you I appreciate that!

Here is one .... https://parkingpatrol.co.uk/2020/02/21/judge-rinder-finds-in-favour-of-ipc-member-over-unpaid-pcns/

For those new to this, the IPC is a scam set up by the infamous Gladstones Solicitors designed to attract scammers. What you read above is pure propaganda by UK Parking patrol  who given their day in a real court would fail

Rinder, on his way to becoming a criminal barrister, would have had to study civil law, including contract and tort as a specific module. So he should at least have some familiarity with it.

But as others have said, this is a TV entertainment show, which bears little resemblance to a real County Court. For example:

- There is never a gavel on the Judge's bench in a real court - you only see those in auction rooms.
- The Judge is not robed, they wear ordinary business dress.
- The Claimant is usually on the Judge's right hand side, not the left as in the show.
- Members of the public can sit at the back, but any laughing, clapping etc. would be frowned upon and most likely result in them being ejected.
- The parties address the Judge from a seated position in a real County Court. It's only in higher courts that advocates stand to address the Judge.
- Rinder's belittling and sarcastic comments to the parties, if made in a real court, would soon have him hauled before the Judicial Appointments Committee.
- The only realistic bit is the Usher, they don't always sit in on the case in a real court, but when they do, their job is to hand up documents from the parties to the Judge.

As a matter of interest, did you pay the mock PPC anything?  I detest this simpering ill tempered clown, I understand he likes dressing up.

Not sure of the relevance of the link, but he does make a valid point, possibly not one I'd agree with but valid none the less.

I think that is UKPPO just using the case as though it was some legal precedent!  I don't think they are saying it was they who were involved in the case show. Just pure PPC BS.
