Telephone Hearings re parking firm claims - can we all discuss strategy and outcomes here

DoaM

One or two typos / grammar issues but otherwise excellent.

Looks OK, perhaps a bit too servile for me, but it will save the sheeple having to think for themselves.

Another reason to avoid remote hearings

But people have no choice (read the first post) so we are discussing strategy to:

(a) get claims struck out just in time, at the point when a Judge is thinking about a Telephone Hearing Order, or 

(b) engage with a Telephone Hearing if they have no solid reason to object, and seize the chance to email the parking firm's legal team first, and say 'here are my key documents, do you wish to add something to this shared bundle such as your claim form before we show this to the Judge?' and not be bullied into removing anything or letting BW Legal or Gladstones etc., lead the way.  Get in first.

I thought that they could request a postponement and pay £255, it that not a choice? 

My strategy would be to fight this tooth and nail.  If necessary,  pay the £255 and claim age discrimination.  No doubt an accountant or auditor will advise me that this is would be futile,.

Why would they? It's a waste of money - it's unlikely you'd get that fee back - but it might "work"

I notice you failed to respond on the other threads with why the sra would give two figs. Found a reason yet?

On what basis is it age discrimination?  They are treating everybody the same.

That can be discrimination under the EA.

But DPD said specifically AGE discrimination, I'm just wondering where age comes into it.

When you are older you will understand.
