Privateparkingappeal.co.uk closed - Defendant now left to fight on his own

Posts: 13 Forumite
I am now left helpless to continue my fight against tyrannical PCM and Gladstone Solicitor. This case is quite important for car park owners getting fined within their right to park their own cars without getting fined. So I would love to hear who and what help I can get to secure this win.
PPA and I had gotten to first hearing that was adjourned as plaintiff wasn't prepared and subsequent proceeding adjourned back in March to due the pandemic.
Ideally, I would love to have a lay representative help in PPA's absence as in my view, correct me if I'm wrong, that this case is of significance not to be lost due to its effect on other car park owners mentioned above. Suggestions are definitely welcome and would be deeply appreciated as I am a newbie in court matters.
Thank you.

No-one cares. We don't want to read a post about them, at all.
Please delete this thread and stop typing his name (well, one of his names) and the horrific company name.
Stop using that first line, no-one wants to read that.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Continuing from the thread marked for deletion:
Leaving aside the fact that you originally requested assistance from a dubious source, the fact remains that you are where you are, and still have a case to fight.
I presume that, for the original hearing in March, you had filed a Defence, and also a Witness Statement and evidence?
- Yes I have. I also think that it could be augmented with some extra points that PPA left out.
You mention 'car park owners'. Does this mean that it's a residential situation where car park permits are required?
- Yes it's a residential situation. I'd need a fob and ANPR to get through the gate.
Do you own or lease the property?
- it's owned as leaseholder
What do the deeds or lease agreement say about parking?
According to the lease, I do not have a specific bay but have exclusive right to park one car in the designated parking area. When purchasing the apartment, the right to park came with a premium of £30k and we regularly have to pay service charge to maintain the parking area in addition to the apartment.
My exclusive right as per the lease:
If the expression "the Parking Space" is defined in clause 1 of this Lease (but only if it is so defined)
(a) the exclusive right to park one private motor car (or one private motor bike) in the Parking Space
and further stated in another schedule as excerpted below which to me should serve as a reminder of what we could agree as a regulation but not agreeing to an invoice from a third party not party to the lease.
To comply with all reasonable regulations which the Landlord may from time to time make and publish in respect of the use of car parking spaces within the Parking Area
Do you have a new date for the hearing?
I don't. Last I heard from the court was back on 23/3/20 that the case is adjourned until further notice via email. Hope nothing gets lost in the post. Should I contact the court and ask rather?1 -
I am out because the thread title is horrific and you are still thinking you need help ''in the absence'' of the person you should never have paid.
I am no longer clicking on these threads, it's almost like a wind-up.

correct me if I'm wrong, that this case is of significance not to be lost due to its effect on other car park owners mentioned above.Of no significance in the small claims court. It will have no influence whether won or lost. Just a run of the mill dispute over £100.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
