And he doesn't explain how the heck he reckons £700 on top of an already outrageous £1000 (added for one letter 'escalating' ten PCNs issued to a typical victim resident) is - in his view - "fair".
Fair?!!
Will, you are as impartial as your IAS.
Even B2B 'late fees' are pegged at ONE LOT of £40, not ten lots. Jeez.
He even suspects 'consumer groups' are behind a non-existent press release. Paranoid...PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

What is the matter with Will Hurley. Paranoid YES
The IAS is just a SHAM designed to support money scammers. It's been known for years and exposed by The Parking Prankster.
Hurley refers to costs ??? Has he so quickly forgotten the Supreme Court ruling ... THE PARKING CHARGE IS SET TO OPERATE THE SCHEME.
The SUPREME COURT over-rides Hurley and the money fakers5 -

The truth is:
He's a solicitor, dons a suit, 'assumes the position' (as a self-styled 'expert' industry spokesperson) and delivers his spiel calmly. So there is an ever-present danger that the more credulous MHCLG rookie staff (and some Ministers with blinkers on) could easily fall for it, like a few naive journalists still do.
Same as some Judges used to fall for Gladstones claptrap, a decade ago.
Generally - thank goodness - at most courts, that mindset has ended! Thank goodness for Manchester, Warwick and Southampton courts leading the way.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
