One Parking Solution warned by a Judge that they may face an application for a civil restraint order

Well done to Coupon Mad and all involved, a brilliant result.

I am claiming "best typo award":
48 "...When a driver continues to challenge the charge he/she is invited to send dinner written complaint"
I presume this is meant to be "in a" !!!!!
Possible shows that it is the transcription that is at fault not the Judge? Maybe all the different names for the Para legal are mistakes by the transcription people.

DoaM

Given that this same typo was mentioned on page 1 of this thread ..................

When there is a handed down Judgment after the hearing, there is no transcription - there was no audio file of the Judgment to transcribe. Note that the Judgment does not quote the name of any of the transcription agencies.

So the Judge, or possibly a clerk working for him, types it up himself, and in this case it looks like DDJ Harvey typed it (possibly while anticipating dinner), hence the unusual choice of font instead of the standard Times Roman 12pt.

It seemed to me to be a transcription error by a clerk typing up from a dictaphone commentary, or even the possibility the Judge doing it himself via speech recognition software?

The Brighton Argus has picked this up from reading this MSE thread. 

OPS are saying they will seek leave to appeal it.  Interesting...

All hot air and BS.

The Order is dated 5 Feb. They had 21 days from that date to file an application for leave to appeal, so it had to be at the court by 26 Feb. Ship sailed on that one.

But it wasn't handed down until mid April though.  The judgment wasn;t made until DDJ Harvey recovered from his illness and looked at the papers.

Handed down on 21 April, I believe. So the application deadline was 12 May - still too late now.

Yep judgment handed down in April, so still time, at least in theory.  I seem to recall a parking Co saying they'd appeal the claim won by Bowen QC but they never did.

An appeal ain't going to help much if the supporting materials turned in by third parties go the way one suspects they might...

Congratulations to all concerned on achieving this victory, and thanks very much for pursuing the case onwards with the BPA and the DVLA.
