Parking Awareness Services pending county court

Coupon-mad

I also finally received an email from the claimants solicitor with a list of car registrations.  One of the registrations was mine  with one letter difference , I had obviously mistyped, the company had previously denied this in an email , which I had included in my exhibit.

Add a concise (extra) supplementary WS this week, attaching their new email that shows this list at long last.  Point out that it was a keying error all along and their solicitor has finally proved it, yet they failed to include that in the exhibits for court (is that true?).  State this is clearly unreasonable conduct.

Copy in the solicitor, as you must.

This must be said on a signed supplementary WS attachment, not just in the body of the email.

Also attach your costs assessment.

Also a link to the BPA CoP, where it talks about minor keying errors and say this is industry best practice to check for close match VRMs and cancel (preferably not issue at all) PCNs where it's a single digit error.  This is echoed by the Government's new Code draft as part of this year's imminent statutory framework and this Claimant (albeit an IPC member) is well aware of the Appeals Charter and best practice and yet has misled you that there was no keying error.

I wasn’t planning on claiming any costs but this has taken me hours to prepare, plus the stress, what sort of costs are reasonable? 

£19 per hour is the litigant in person rate (ONLY CLAIMABLE IF YOU CAN CONVINCE THE JUDGE THEY'VE ACTED WHOLLY UNREASONABLY) plus £95 if you have suffered loss of leave or salary for the hearing attendance.

You know there is an example costs assessment in the Newbies?

What??

I'm sure you meant to write...
One of the registrations was mine  with one letter difference. Clearly the keypad had at least one faulty key - probably more.

Please take care.

• I wasn’t planning on claiming any costs but this has taken me hours to prepare, 

So consider changing your plans.

My case went to court today and thankfully the judge dismissed the case against me and awarded me with a small amount of expenses for the time I had to take off work . Thank you to everyone who helped me with this , it has been very much appreciated.

Yay, well done!  Which point(s) won it?

Another PAS one bites the dust!

No particular points , he said I was obviously a customer at the pub and had input my registration although one digit out and couldn’t believe parking awareness had took the case to court, so dismissed the case

Nice one.  A common-sense decision.
