Hello All

Update on the outcome. Finally coming to nearly 2 years today was my dad’s case, Other party did not attend also the judge said their evidence that the signs were clear was a template they submitted and even that was not readable ( what a joke), Anyways case was dismissed. 

Thank you everyone we appreciate all the help and keep up the good work.

The only thing that annoys me is the judge asked him wether he wants to make a claim and he said yes, So she said you will have to go through the same process of what the other party did if they don’t pay (solicitor,court etc) so he left it. I thought they would at least have to pay the minimum for all the time wasting.  No penalising nothing no wonder they continue doing these scams.

It is really off putting , The effort put in to make a defence and everybody’s time including all yours going through all the stages doesn’t seem to be worth it for the sake of £60 specially when there is no penalty for the other party. 

Any ways it’s the principles that matter I hope.

Thank you All once again.

Nicely done!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

It is about the principle.  We agree.  And rest assured the Government is about to robustly regulate this rogue industry. In time, court claims will be less likely.

He could have asked costs for attending the hearing but maybe the Judge was one who doesn't grant costs. I've won every case before a Judge but have never got any costs for the Defendants!

I’m not sure what costs the judge was referring to and my father doesn’t know either lol. Well the important factor is they did not win.
