    Well done, nice one. Seems to have been a well versed Judge. Can you tell us the Judge's name and the court at which the hearing was held, please?
    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.

    It was Judge Lynch (I’ve taken a guess at the spelling). Held at Milton Keynes County Court.

    Excel thought they were going to get a juicy payout from me but not today! 

    A point the judge wasn’t too keen on either was the fact that Excel were claiming “debt recovery costs” of £60 for each individual ticket (they took me to court for four tickets). Asking the rep what debt recovery costs they had incurred and how could they have incurred them for each individual ticket if it was being brought forward with one claim. Had the rep stumped on that one! 

    Fantastic result on the other hearings. 

    I’ll be sure to contribute to the consultation and put a stop to these scumbags. 
    Nice to see a judge expose the great FAKE ADD-ON SCAM

    Rep gets paid even if the hearing only lasts five minutes.
