Hello folks,
FABULOUS NEWS!!
An update - After filing my defence just before Christmas, I have received a "Notice of Discontinuance" from the parking firm's solicitors today. Job Done!! Thanks so much again. I am absolutely buzzing!

Congrats!   And I like this:

"BTW, I did include copies of examples of all claims being struck out at the bottom of my defence."

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

please find time to do this new Justice Committee Inquiry - must be answered in the next week!

The Committee invites evidence on:

• What the current level of delay in the County Court is

• The ways in which the County Court engages with litigants in person, and how this could be improved

• The causes of action giving rise to claims in the County Court

• What future reforms to the County Court should be considered.

Please also state that private parking firms and their bulk litigators are the main court blocker as far as small claims delays are concerned.

They dominate and clog up court lists to the tune of up to half a million claims in 2023.

Litigation should be a last resort but it is the first aim of parking bulk litigation firms.

Tell the Committee about your claim and show the Claim Form and the Discontinuance.

This treatment of motorists should be illegal.

The 'debt claims pre-action protocol' is not fit for purpose for these cases.  Please strongly OBJECT to this and ask the Committee to insist on a proper ADR and 'private parking protocol' to resolve disputes and expose the worst scam PCNs out of court.

Please add your voice.  In your own words.

Please answer the questions and show the delay in your case - claim form to discontinuance.

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 have until Wednesday 17 January 2024  to make a submission to the committee.
