as expected!
Great news

Well done for seeing this through to the end and winning.Even though you could predict what would happen you have to continue to jump through all the hoops up to the last. They chose to discontinue yet again rather than face losing in court which would have cost them more in fees and your costs.2

Here we go again. A further entry in the DCB Legal discontinuation thread of shame.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.

vwpbbb said:I am very glad to receive just now an email from DCB Legal the Notice of Discontinuance. The email reads as follows
We act for the Claimant in the above matter.
Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records.
The attached has also been filed with the Court.
We will now proceed to close our file accordingly.
I wish to thank you all for your help and suggestions which has been so invaluable and very grateful for your time and guidance.
Yay!
Very good news! Discontinuance = a win.
ANOTHER HIGHVIEW ONE BITES THE DUST!
Well done for winning. And...please don't leave us yet!
We need you - as a genuine PPC victim of aggression, sharp practice and an 'extortion' attempt to add £70 - to respond robustly to the Public Consultation on the level of parking charges and banning of the false added DRA 'fee' that too many honest motorists currently fall victim to.
It will need consumer input (powerful voices) but change is afoot. It's taken about 5 years to get to this stage:

And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:

Please now Bookmark BOTH threads and set up email alerts on your posting profile, so that you get an email alert when we post there, as we will, once the Public Consultation opens - anticipated in a month or so.
We need people like you and your driving family & friends to respond in high numbers!
You have a personal story to tell about the culture of getting a roboclaim 'legal' firm to add a pointless £70 for their own profit, to be let loose to intimidate people. I am sure you want your voice heard to stop this happening again.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Thank you. I have bookmarked both threads and set up the email alert for future. Yes, certainly I want my voice to be heard to stop this happening again.
