The WHOPLA fantasy dreamed up by the BPA--who then dreamed up POPLA, another set up that is not fit for purpose ?Car1980 said:Doesn't help calling your company Right Hassle.
It's a wonder that the sham. Davies / Hurley did not invent this
And Gladstones ..... Davies, the head honcho, still persue rubbish claims
Will the Gladstones junk follow Wright Hassall demise ? Probably, they have a 98% NEGATIVE revieves on Truspilot ?
AND THEY BROUGHT THIS ON THEMSELVES .... IT'S CALLED A SCAM

Where are QDR now in all this?ChirpyChicken said:Why historic law firm Wright Hassall went into administration: Failed mergers, falling revenue and partner losses | Law Gazette https://share.google/DbmkosYtWvsUmxXUB
No great lossPlease 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.

No great loss
QDR did not move over to HCR law. It appears to be an independent firm now
I stand to be corrected.4 -

I don't know if this has been posted already on this Forum. It may have been. This post is taken from a FB forum that relates to two specific car parks. The OP has said that it can be posted on other related forums. It relates to a case that was discontinued at the last minute.
"Further to my earlier posts you may recall that ECPL discontinued the County Court proceedings just prior to the trial date. We asked them to pay some costs but they flatly refused. We thought that their behaviour throughout had been unreasonable and so made an application to the Court relying on CPR 27.14.(2)(g). The hearing was yesterday and I am pleased to say that the Judge found that ECPL had committed unreasonable litigation conduct. Costs were awarded against them in the sum of £653 to be paid within 21 days. The whole saga extended to a three year period. Will this case change their attitude? Do you know what I do not think so!"

Probably correct there.The only way things could/would change, is if landowners who enable PPCs start to get personally stung over the antics of the PPCs

ECP - Weavers Wharf car park Kidderminster Worcs.A fuming motorist was slapped with a pcn for mistakenly entering the wrong registration plate – despite paying for his ticket twice.Motorist's fault OR ECP known faulty machines ?As usual the motorist's appeal to the operator was rejected.The man said: “I’d really discourage people from parking on the car park if they can."“I’ve noticed the car park is barely used as much as it used to be since they changed the payment machines."“It will start having a negative impact on businesses and I really think the owners need to review the changes that have been made."6
