CST Law claim dismissed - can they try again or is that it?

Your ideas to add to the defence sound reasonable but you need to make it more concise and not use 'me, myself or I' in a defence.  You write it as 'the Defendant did this/that..'

You said you would do the consultation...I hope you have!   Ideally by email attaching evidence of what has happened to you - and objected absolutely to ANY debt recovery fake 'costs' being added on top of a parking charge (of course) and told them what you think of them increasing charges to £130 instead of £100...and what you think about a premium £100/£130 rate against residents in their car parks.   

Tell them what REALLY happens to authorised tenants - you are the targets.  Tell the Government and ask them to protect people like you.

You have 6 days to do the consultation.  Please, please, do.

Also, I hope you've also registered for the Group Action, against the DVLA (open to anyone with a PCN since 2018?).  Gotta be in it to win it!  Nothing to lose, and it's genuine.

Read the threads about those important matters, they both need doing, right now, this week.

OK, an update after a year.

Finally got a court date in July and it seemed clear CST were going through with it.

Had no idea if case had been heard until 2 days ago (I was suddenly unable to attend court), when I received a notice saying it had gone ahead, but case dismissed ... because claimant had not included a photo of the no parking rules sign in the car park.

In such a situation, could CST Law put a claim in again, this time with a photo? Or once dismissed, for what appears a valid reason, is that it? If they did re-submit, they would need a photo from the time of the parking 3 years ago so if they don't have that photo it is too late to resurrect the claim?

No it can't, so you won!  Took a year but you got there!

As bargepole said on the other thread:

Once a claim has been heard res judicata, and dismissed, it cannot be re-litigated. Cause of Action estoppel applies.

CONGRATULATIONS!  ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

Now you've won this battle and earned the 'virtual t-shirt', please don't disappear just yet.

A final Public Consultation is coming.

We need you; motorists need you to help us make a difference forever.  What a waste of your time this was, and why should there be such a litigation culture in parking?   It's truly horrible being pursued for £100 for no reason, by an ex-clamper aggressive firm, isn't it? 

Join us in trying to end the conniving PPC and DRA 'added fees' fuelling the court culture. 

There will be one window of opportunity later this year.  My best guess is in October.

Together, we can stop the rotten parking industry from riding roughshod over the new statutory Code and the charge level caps, and otherwise bullying all motorists forever, using the regulation to gain kudos and status.

If you are not likely to pop back here every week to check, please set up email alerts for this forum and bookmark this thread (below) as we intend that one of us posts on it when the Government opens the Consultation:

Read the latest posts there.

The PPC money-grabbers have blocked the new Code by filing for Judicial Reviews.  Stopped the declared and much welcomed parking code from February 2022, which stated that added £70 false 'DRA fee' extortion was to be banned and that parking levels would start at £50.

It's on hold. Motorists urgently need it reinstated and the ban on false 'DRA fees' confirmed, to stop the rot.

This year will be your chance to make a difference, plus any other drivers you know (family, friends) who are also fed up to the back teeth with the greedy and unscrupulous parking industry and the stranglehold they have on people.

We need high numbers of real victims to make a point of responding to this final Consultation.
