Update - 20 PCNs - Big win against VCS

Gr1pr

Great stuff , perhaps estoppel,  Henderson vs Henderson?  If any duplicate claims occur in the future   ?

Meanwhile the current government public survey consultation finishes next week,  do I hope that you fill it in,  if not done already,  make a difference

@Coupon-mad - popcorn out for this one indeed.

During the Witness Statement stage, the esteemed Jake Burgess at DCB included an elapsed landowner authority from the Claimant for the material dates in the claim.

I swiftly filed a notice to strike out on grounds that VCS had no express authority from the landowner. Judge agreed.

Worth noting I'd initially instructed J Yamba from CL, but felt I was close enough to the details of this case to argue it and land the win.

I'm now 2-nil against VCS and DCB - really hope they keep bringing these meritless claims against me.

Great news!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

Did you also get CL's costs, and your own?

FIGHTBACK ALERT - just days to go!

Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline. See this thread:

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam over 18 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.

For ease and inspiration read the Which? response they've just published:

"We strongly agree that if a parking charge notice is served but not responded to, the

keeper may still identify the driver and that liability of the keeper falls in favour of that of the driver who may still then exercise their right of appeal."

Concerning that they think this isn't the case already. They seem to misunderstand the 28 time period in law.
