Claim Issued (DCB Legal/Vehicle Control Service LTD)

Just to update. 

I barely got to say anything at all. The judge was very friendly and the case was immediately dismissed as the evidence hasn’t established which signage was actually placed where and where exactly my vehicle was parked in relation to any signage. Ergo, claim dismissed.

Id just like to extend a big thank you to everyone who chipped in to help. Time is the most precious resource we have - so again, thank you. 

Sadly I didn’t even get to say much beyond ‘good morning judge’ and I was really looking forward to my ‘A Few Good’ Men moment. 

It was clear the judge had already made his mind up whilst going over the evidence in advance, you got the feeling he was as fed up with these things as the rest of us. The 20mins or so I was in the hearing was basically him talking their representative into a corner to admit their evidence didn’t prove the vehicle was parked anywhere in relation to the site or that the signage photographed was where exactly in relation to the vehicle. Dismissed.

To give some detail on what exactly happened. I had a lunch meeting at a pub for an hour. The pub had a carpark attached at the rear, sandwiched next to 2 nondescript, brown, 2 story buildings.

Turns out that despite the pub being attached to the car-park. It's not their land to manage, and the 2 nondescript buildings are a work place of some description and manage/own the land instead. to anyone with common sense and a form of morality - it's clearly a form of easy entrapment for them.

I returned to the premises to take some photographs of the signage and layout of the land. There are 2 missing signs on the premises, including the very first sign as you enter off the street.

Thank you for all the responses. 

Here are some images of the car park in question. The brown buildings are the business premises that actually own the land - their entrances are outside the car park leaving just brown, non descrip rears which is partly why I assumed the car park belonged to the pub. 

The rear pub entrance which is also attached to the car park can be seen here.

Entrance to the car park (first parking sign also missing on right) 

Missing signage. 

Approx where I was parked - far end of the car park opposite the pub entrance pictured up top. 

Hopeless lack of signs. Glad the judge agreed. Did you get your costs for time off work & travel to court?

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
