    All looks good.  Love your #17!

    Have you also done a costs assessment like @robertcox999 today (see example)?

    Thank you, I have updated the WS by deleting the rest of the paragraph after "I take issue with the fact that the only evidence to ‘prove’ an overstay occurred is the metadata attached to the photo itself" and replaced it with C-m's suggested edit. 

    I'll be very soon posting the entire bundle I have prepared here, and hopefully after a win, any other documents that can help out another individual in future :smile:

    EDIT: also figured out I can't count up to 20, well spotted :lol:

    EDIT EDIT: Yep, costs schedule filled out and prepared already - I'll do another proofread and prepare the full bundle for upload here and sending to the court + Claimant!

    Done the two Govt consultations ?  Not enough people have yet!

     Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

    You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

    https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

    You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

    https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/913272/Code_Enforcement_Framework_consultation.pdf

    At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.  

    And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters and MUST GO.  Remove that layer and you remove the ‘drivers’ behind the race to court.

    HOW TO DO THE SUBMISSIONS:

    Responses into the PAS 232 and MHCLG framework documents are not completely straightforward:

    On the MHCLG response, you have to answer the questions on a 1-5 scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and then put some commentary. No way to upload documents or alternatives.

     

    On the PAS 232, you have to click on each clause and sub-clause to put your comments, and a suggested rewording of their draft.  You can see comments which other people have written! 

     

    But, when you click ‘submit’, a message pops up to say your comments have been received, but that only applies to the particular clause you have just addressed.

     

    You have to click ‘submit’ separately for each individual clause response.

     

    Some people will be caught out by this but can revisit it and add further responses up to 12 October.

    I was reading through the responses so far. There are only 41 showing on the BSI consultation portal - that's 41 comments, not 41 respondents. None of the responses look like they are from a PPC. 
    Am I missing something?
    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.

  • Thank you for the assistance in making this happen @Coupon-mad, I'll be commenting on the draft proposals as soon as I can.

    First though, I best join the online lecture I've missed an hour of already....

    No, and people need to be aware of this:

    Get rid of #6 because the answer to arriving late back at your car is (as was said in Beavis) ''all that he needed was a watch''.

    Divide #7 up into two paras 6 and 7 because it's too big.

    At the start where you say you were the keeper, also admit to being the driver as it's a more honest position.

    You are not defending as keeper, you are defending as driver, so you don't need the POFA nor the POPLA Henry Greenslade article.

    You don't need the CRA as that is statute law and the Judge has that to hand.
