Excel appealing court decision

happeningkb36

I ve had some difficulty attaching photos but should be ok now. I was anxious about what was wise to share or not share. I ve deleted any of their names and my info like my registration.

as you can see they are appealing on 3 grounds. The judge didn't even mention the second in court about entering a VRM being an unfair term so I am not sure where excel have picked that out from. I ve included the judgement letter from court too.

for ground 3 the judge said the amount being asked for by excel was not proportionate. They had evidence I paid £3 (plus 20p for using the app).

I ve looked at these forums a lot over the past year when anxiously fretting about what excel were going to do next and I ve never seen anyone talk about excel appealing so it came as a bit of a shock today. I thought the whole thing was over with.

In my opinion that appeal shoots them down in flames, they talk about the importance of and need for a correct VRM but the car park equipment allowed you to input an incorrect (well no) VRM!

And, then keep the Driver's money!

Yep!

I don't think it does them well at all either with what it says about the judge

Excel are IPC members. The IPC has a Get Your Reg Right campaign going. As part of that, the IPC made a statement on Twitter that it was a moral duty for all it's members to install typo proof machines, and called it their mantra.

Unfortunately the link I had to the Twitter messages has disappeared following the change to X. 

If anyone has a screen grab of them, or can access them via X, it would be useful to post them here for this and many other cases.

Not from Twitter; but, it does include support for the IPC's campaign from a former Chancellor even though it doesn't apply to Helicopters.

Thanks. That's useful, but it would be good if we can get the IPC's statements where they say it is a moral duty for parking operators to install typo proof machines. In my opinion, the Get your reg right campaign is just a cover for blaming the motorist and pretending to help them at the same time. 
What we need is the statement where the IPC say their members must do something about the problem.

Thanks for that @Castle

Although the link at the end of that article doesn't work, this one does...
www.getyourregright.info.
That in turn leads to a webpage showing companies that support the 'Get Your Reg Right' campaign...
www.getyourregright.info/endorsements

...and who do we find on that page...

But wait... there's more.
If one were to click on that Excel Parking logo on that webpage - or on the image above - we see this glowing message of support for the campaign from Excel's leader...

Isn't it good that Excel Parking Services Ltd are so open with their support for this campaign?

I think the Circuit Judge might well grant leave to appeal on maybe one ground and will require Excel to cough up a transcript of the first hearing in order to take it to a hearing.  You will need help.

I am not sure if you should serve a Respondent's Notice yet.

@bargepole will know.
