Name the private parking company claimant involved, plus any lawyers too

Post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first

Leave all the dates showing

I assume this is University Hospitals Coventry and Warwick - were you working there during covid?

Ten PCNs? Is this a DCB Legal claim?

Well what a convoluted contract this trust has got its self into:

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust operates under a
Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract and all hard and soft services
are managed by our PFI Service Providers – which includes the management
of car parking.    Our service providers for car parking are ISS
Facilities and this is operated on their behalf by the Car Parking
Partnership with no involvement in any form from the Trust. 
This is not an outsourced contract, therefore, CPP are not contractors of
the Trust and they are not exercising a public function on behalf of the
Trust.  Their contract is with ISS Facilities.

Yes this is one of many PFI contracts which leave this complicated legacy in their wake. It is disingenuous for the hospital to say they have no involvement in the car parking as they have to facilitate the mandatory free parking under NHS Guidance. They are sharing special category data with a non NHS third party (are security office staff NHS employees?). If you look at this and it's attachments;

https://www.uhcw.nhs.uk/visitors/parking/#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20on%20a,for%20Oncology%20(cancer)%20patients%20attending

You can clearly see that the statement quoted above 'no involvement in any form from the Trust' is at best a misrepresentation of the facts.

In not very tech savvy but here is the claim. Pcns placed on windscreen by an nhs/iss worker. I

The free covid parking for staff finished on 31 March 2021 here. This is a 'no breach pleaded case' though and the experts will be along to help

Gr1pr

So, its CPP , PARKING EYE, via DCB Legal, issue date 6th Oct , no actual breach pleaded and only a range of dates, not the 10 actual dates for each & every pcn, so vague ambiguous POC details

I would expect you to use and possibly add to the latest Chan and Akande defence template for CPP cases in the link below, but you may need to add an extra bespoke paragraph, as 3.1 , as well as adding an ending to paragraph 2 as well , but 90% of your defence is already written

But, given the sheer number of pcns involved, and £2534 at stake, the claimant may well push it to an actual court hearing

I don't think they will go to a hearing despite the amount, especially if the OP was hospital staff.

Use the Group Thread to see your defence wording there on page 2 at a glance, but add to the end if para 2:

and driver. The defendant was a {nurse/doctor/or your job title} at this Hospital at the material time and fully authorised to park.
