I hope that the story gets picked up by the Nationals to help Norma. Also to draw to attention to how the PPC's are still shafting the motorist and how little fairness that the motorist receives in the process as a whole.  This was a small claim for goodness sake.

Roll on the CoP.

Totally agree.

Because the likes of the BPA has attempted to throw a spanner in the works, it will be delayed.
The good thing about that it we all keep our jobs and will continue to get the scammers spanked in court
There is a case for government to create a government based ATA, JUST ONE, and kick the BPA and the IPC into the long grass or a shredder .... where they belong

Thank you for your concern zhonguonren :-) She is undertandably under a lot of pressure and has not had a good week.  However, she is now looking on the positive side. Meanwhile I said that if it were me, I would take the money at the end of the day on Friday 11th in 1p coins. She won't do that. Too well mannered.

I am so concerned - hoping for a pro bono miracle to save the day (and us all in the long run).

Hopefully this case will be a Pyrrhic victory for parking firms in general.

Something is wrong if people can't afford to challenge a judgment that says PPCs don't need landowner authority.

zhonguonuren

It is harmful for a judge to say that landowner’s authority is not required when the DVLA states it absolutely is.

I wonder what Sir Greg Knight would think of this case? If the bill was still going through the first stages I bet that this case would have been discussed. 

Under the new single appeal the charge may have been cancelled at this stage and not even made to court. The ticket would have only been for £25.00. 

It seems very unfair.

DJ Harvey made the right decision ?  What does this say about the county court system which millions must trust to have a fair hearing

The circuit judge did not offer this and behaved so badly with such a feeble understanding of the parking industry.
In my opinion, this matter must be taken over the head of this circuit judge who must be investigated.  Exposure of a flawed county court system is well overdue

Surely a complaint to the line manager would not be ignored.  I often wonder why people do not consider Occam's Razor.

I was thinking more of Robert Buckland MP, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
