Maybe judges should have a general crib sheet they can refer to. Written by judges who fully understand the scam1

Would there be any merit in pursuing a separate claim against the landowner over the actions of their agents (the parking company)?From the Plain Language Commission:

Under what cause of action could a motorist sue a landowner?Half_way said:Would there be any merit in pursuing a separate claim against the landowner over the actions of their agents (the parking company)?
It couldn't be damages arising from breach of contract, because there is no contract between the landowner and the motorist.
It could be argued as damages arising from a tort of negligent breach of duty of care, but for that to succeed, the motorist would have to prove a) that the landowner owed a general duty of care to persons parking on their land; b) that the landowner negligently failed to prevent their agent from causing damage/distress to motorists; and c) that the motorist suffered a financial loss directly flowing from the actions of the PPC.
Bit of a long shot, I'd say.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.5
