    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.

    Apart from that, any guesses just how much 345 chicken out claims has cost the PPC and DCBL It's not just the £100 ticket and the fake DAMAGES claim

    Isn't there any compensation for making you waste time on a discontinued case?

    @DinoGal proves too much for National Parking Control and DCB Legal with an ensuing discontinuation. Well done Gal.

    UKPC and DCB Legal couldn't handle the craic, as @Craic1979 shows them how it goes.

  • UKPC and DCB Legal tried to take a Double Dip to court. The Defendant had a very comprehensive location date log for the day proving she wasn't at UKPC's car park all day. The evidence was so compelling that she sent her Witness Statement and this evidence 6 months before the hearing. Did DCB Legal cancel right away? No, absolutely no contact from them including a discontinuation letter. The Defendant was informed by the court that DCB Legal had discontinued a month before the hearing. YES, why can't a defendant get compensation for such appalling behaviour?
