    but IPC argued it has a robust complaints system that was not followed.

    So do lots of other organisations, including British Gas, EE, and Reading Borough Councii among them.   This may take longer, but you get there in the end.  If you try to cut corners you can make difficulties for yourself.

    Was it stated under oath? It's not required in small claims court

    and with Hurley stating on oath he would have done something is just pie in the sky.

    It’s quite important saying something under oath if it’s not true - and it’s relevant to the outcome of the case.  It’s called perjury!   Mr Hurley is aware I will apply for a transcript of the case and we may meet again.  
    Hurley and his little mate Davies by scamming 1000's of people should have rooms in Her Majesty's hotel

    That’s a very sweeping statement - maybe check your facts first.

    I have no difficulties.  I have sued British Gas, EON etc in the past. When another case arises it makes it fairly simple as the DQ for the original case shows the email of the legal contact.  I just email that person with a letter before claim and it is resolved quickly, without having to wait in the complaints department for weeks/months.  It just worked for me with British Airways. I tried holding on the phone for an hour for a cash refund and gave up.  I found my legal contact and was refunded within a few days.

    1) I have a claim pending against the parking company 2) The landowner took some time to track down via Land Registry but is now being very helpful with (1) but yes I would have otherwise sued.  (3) I brought a claim against the DVLA and won (£200 plus costs).

    I did

    (4) The court need not take evidence on oath.
    It's up to the court to decide whether they want evidence to be taken on oath. So, was it taken on oath? Simple yes or no.

    Lost the case against the IPC but if I ever get a scam ticket from one of their operators in future, I am confident it will be cancelled without delay !

    The court ‘need not’ take evidence on oath is very different to your ‘does not’.  I brought a case in the small claims court last year and both myself and the defendant had to swear an oath (hence I knew you were incorrect).  With this in mind,  there was no official swearing of an oath but I made sure the defendant was aware it was considered as if under oath and the judge did not correct it.  To be clear, one should not think it acceptable to tell lies because it is ‘only’ the small claims court.  

    Maybe, rather than nitpicking, your energy might be better spent getting this scam stopped.  I have written to many organisations - have you?  A simple yes or no.
