    Have they shown in evidence a copy of the White List from that day? Why isn't your car on it? 
    Nothing in their WS about a White List.

    As for why, i can only assume incompetence/disinterest from the Wetherspoons staff.

    Their WS does mention that Wetherspoons are a third party in this dispute (not being the land owner) so any error with the White List should be taken up with them. 
    On the contrary, Wetherspoons are acting as Agents of the PPC.
  • Sorry we can't look at data like that by pm or off forum. Not allowed.
    Understood. I'll do my best to get a redacted copy of the Claimants WS uploaded in the next couple of days. The deadline for my WS is the 27th of this month.

    I didn't know how that stood, being as Wetherspoons and Excel are essentially renting the land. 

    Is it worth including in my WS?

    You must put this in your WS, as I said!

    "20.This inconsistent approach to signage and lack of informing motorists of various terms and conditions equates to usual predatory tactics used by the Claimant to claim money off motorists looking for somewhere to park. Exaggerated Claims and ‘market failure’ currently examined by the Government


    32.The Claimant has not provided any evidence of the additional charges"

    There seems to be paras missing between 20 and 32?

    I included that deliberately, I'm quoting the claimant.

    It's spelt correctly outside of the quotation marks but i didn't know if it was appropriate to correct the Claimants spelling while i was quoting them.
