    Which court and who was the judge please?  Helps us build a picture of how certain courts and judges are dealing with private parking court claims. Helps future motorists who might follow a similar path to the one you have just trodden. 
    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.

    NGPM are usually in Cardiff
    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's
    • When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
    • "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's and their rules apply.

    Cardiff is a crap court usually re parking cases. so you did well.  I think we can ignore the views of a Cardiff Judge grumbling about the Template Defence.  If he thinks the CRA 2015 is 'inapplicable' or that PPCs don't need landowner authority, he's got another think coming.

    Well I know I'll ignore him anyway!   I think I know a thing or two about what's relevant to parking law and what isn't.  But there are bigger fish to fry than worry about what he thinks.

    See you for the Public Consultation.

    The new Code of Practice will stop crumbly Judges thinking they know best, and will hopefully rein in the bulk litigation culture.  Off you toddle, DCBLegal and your ex-Gladstones solicitor...
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
