@Snakes_Belly
would be worth a quick letter.
I saw the Rt Hon MP for Lichfield in Euston a few weeks ago, I was going to shake his hand but he was engaged in deep conversation post- PMQ.3 -
Lord SumptionHe delivered most of the final judgment in the ParkingEye v Beavis.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.

I did wonder if he was involved in the Beavis decision. I saw a programme where he was talking in his capacity as a historian where he referred Samuel Johnson as the most important Londoner.Umkomaas said:Lord SumptionHe delivered most of the final judgment in the ParkingEye v Beavis.
Now Dr. Johnson's birthplace may be suffering a loss in revenue as the Excel debacle has had an effect on business. Actions have consequences.
Euro Car Parks are not much better and I can see issues when the new cinema opens in the building that was previously Debenhams. ECP's signage on these car parks is very ambiguous especially on Sundays.

Excel lost another Lichfield case today. Not sure which court.
This was a driver who had paid but ticketless machine so no ticket. Fortunately the driver had the details of payment on their bank statement. The inital claim was not defended but the judgment was set aside and the claim had now been dismissed.
The address search was only made after the default judgment and not before the claim was issued.

Walsall had an Excel SA according to Courtserve.
- 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.

"Walsall had an Excel SA according to Courtserve."
I think that the claim was dismissed at the same hearing.

Yes the SA and the claim were dismissed at the same hearing which is unusual but possible. The defendant had submitted a comprehensive WS and got all her costs returned.Snakes_Belly said:"Walsall had an Excel SA according to Courtserve."
I think that the claim was dismissed at the same hearing.
There was also another Excel Three Spires claim heard yesterday (not at Walsall) which was also dismissed.
Sad though that so many people have paid up. Sad also that a small city which has been such a place of enlightenment in the past has been infested by these grubby money grabbers.

"There was also another Excel Three Spires claim heard yesterday (not at Walsall) which was also dismissed."
Further update on this hearing. It was a Stoke on Trent County Court and probably one of the quickest ever to be dismissed. Excel's WS contained images of a random car with VRN that did not correspond with the claim.
Anyone receiving a claim from Excel or VCS should check the details of anything that they send carefully. Their attention to detail in their adminstration is very poor. This is a company that supposedly has a legal team!
The Elm's reps are doing OK out of the Three Spires debacle as they still get paid for the time allocated.
