Parking fine - Help with Defence needed please.

SidneyArthur

I could send them as a separate PDF on the same email, with a note on my Defence stating this? So there will be two PDF's attached to the email.

Coupon-mad

No you can't do that.

SidneyArthur

I have emailed my defence and received an acknowledgement.

Thank you SO MUCH for your help so far, particularly @Coupon-mad & @KeithP. I hope you realise what a difference you are making. My Defence would have been hopeless if it wasn't for your help. Speak again soon.

SidneyArthur

BTW, I sent it using Gmail and received the acknowledgment immediately...

Great! 

One last thing...vital please, and urgent!

Have you seen/done this Inquiry which closes in a week?

A favour PLEASE if you want this litigation incentivised model to be stopped:

https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/102/justice-committee/news/198166/new-inquiry-justice-committee-launches-new-inquiry-on-the-work-of-the-county-court-amid-capacity-and-resource-concerns/

I've been posting a lot about it on threads to encourage victims to tell the Justice Committee that consumers need a bespoke 'parking pre-action protocol' designed to keep cases out of court.  

Please do it! Join us in this push to change things for good.

The Inquiry closes in mid January. They extended the deadline:
https://committees.parliament.uk/work/7972/work-of-the-county-court/

Really relevant because the reason there are delays in the work of the county court is because up to a THIRD of all claims under £1000 are parking.

Your paperwork will be great evidence. This is about showing how parking firms abuse the court service.

Please show them your claim form AND the truly bizarre acknowledgement email where the CNBC presume you are complaining about their delay and it states that INSTEAD OF TACKLING THE CAUSE OF THE BURDEN ON THE COURTS they reckon the answer is to 'expand' to accommodate all the rogue parking claims!




You could not make it up.

Absolute farce. The CNBC (under the Ministry of Justice) actually reckon they need to damn well expand to meet the needs of all the 'outrageous scam' (MPs' phrase in 2018) court claims from bulk litigators who continue to leap on this 'easy money' bandwagon and make a mint out of inflated and dodgy auto-CCJs.

This is causing immense consumer harm.

Where do we start? PLEASE HELP US.

There should be a bespoke private parking protocol to resolve cases without court, and an ADR set up by the DLUHC.

I think if enough people say the above sort of stuff, this Justice Committee will go and talk to the DLUHC guys I'm dealing with, and hopefully recommend a new pre-action protocol to stop the claim tsunami.

This inquiry is currently accepting evidence

"The committee wants to hear your views. We welcome submissions from anyone with answers to the questions in the call for evidence. You can submit evidence until Friday 17th January 2024."

@Le_Kirk posted a single PDF link to them last month. We have two more now, from Basildon and York, I think, if you fancy searching the forum for those too!

Still waiting for a clean, less redacted version to be posted by @LekkerManLekker (despite sending a PM) so I can add York and Basildon to the link.
