BW legal letter

Hi
Today received a letter from BW Legal stating that a previous parking claim that was thrown out of court due to abuse of process may now be reinstated due to a new decision. The case given was Brittainia Parkin Group Ltd v Semark-Jullien on 16 and 29 July 2020. Does anyone know anything about this?
I thought I was done with this after they applied for ccj and then it was thrown out. Can they reinstate such a thing after court hearing? Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

Does not really matter what they say, BWLegal are about to embark on a very expensive vindictive programme which will fail.
All the judge said was that further proof must be shown regarding Abuse of Process. We have that proof as BWLegal will learn to their cost.
Let us know what happens.. Which court was your case with3 -
How long ago was your case?
They have a strict time limit for appeals.
If they are outside of this they shoudlnt even be processing your data any longer - I would be instructing them to FRO and to cease processing immediately. Their reasonable cause for processing expired when they lost.3 -
Hi,
Thanks for your help, local court was Southampton too, we'll see what comes of it!3 -

How long is the time limit on this if that is the case?1 -
Usually 21 days

My case was this time last year, so well over the 21 days, hopefully means they can't do anything.
Also though it was strange they were offering a discount on the amount to be paid in my letter today, if they are so sure this is a slam dunk decision surely they'd go after the full amount?2 -
me thinks that this is another complaint to the SRA and your MPthey must be getting desperate ... what a bunch ofquotes from the committe stageRalph
"The other area is hospital parking, and I want to single out one company for some pretty shady practices. That is ParkingEye"
" is very clear to me that there is collusion between parking companies and solicitors’ firms—so-called roboclaims companies. "
"They are often set up adjacently and involve the same directors and personnel. Incidentally, the same personnel get involved in the so-called appeals bodies."
"Essentially, it is a money-making enterprise that takes advantage of motorists up and down the country. They operate in a very business-like fashion, which is why I call them roboclaims companies."
"The companies are jamming up parts of our legal system."
“I now pretty much know exactly how the parking companies and in particular the IPC have been running this scam for the past 5 years. Basically both of the appeals processes are a complete and utter sham, (and part of that sham is Gladstones Solicitors itself)”
"The appeals process at Excel/VCS is run by a team of minimum wage office workers with no legal knowledge or experience whatsoever,"
" It is claimed by the head of the appeals service (retired Judge Bryn Holloway) that this is a completely independent fair process, it is not”
"The letter mentions two individuals—Will Hurley and Bryn Holloway—and concludes this is a typical example of the clear collusion between the IPC, their members and the IAS"
"what we can do about roboclaims companies and solicitors firms that profit, often in shady ways"
" the very large amounts of money that can be involved in such scams—a company called Smart Parking was involved in one such scam on my patch"
"tightening up the rules regarding the unfair use of automatic number plate recognition" "BW Legal, regularly issues 10,000 county court judgments a month, and is known to have issued 28,000 in one month"
"They are jamming up our court system, and are often totally unjustified."
" because the lifeblood of trying to extort money from people is having access to their details."
