    GENERAL FORM OF JUDGMENT OR ORDER In the Southampton County Court
    Claim number XXXXXXXX
    Date 10th June 2019
    Britannia PArking group ltd, T/A Brittania parking 1st claimant REF XXXXXXX
    MY Name 1st Defendant Ref
    Before District Judge Taylor sitting at the County Court at Southampton London Road Southampton IT IS ORDERED THAT
    The claim is struck out as an abuse of process

    Presumably BW Legal were aware that their claim had been struck out when they nonetheless approached the defendant for £170 to settle the case. This would seem to take abuse of process to a whole new level.

    Gosh, are you suggesting that [STRIKE]the scamlicitors [/STRIKE] this upstanding legal company were acting in an underhand manner?

    Perish the thought.

    As I look forward to my day in the same court to defend myself against a claim relating to the same car park, this thread provides useful insights into those bringing the case against me.

    It does seem an indictment of the justice system if such underhand activity by BWLegal should go without sanction.

    Just a little update, still no response from the SRA, in fairness they do have a few days left to be able to reply. In the meantime I have contacted BW Legal, Under the GDPR rules I have requested a copy of every singl;e piece of correspondence they have sent me, The details of my Account, and a list of every phone call they have made, answered or not. Not sure what exactly Im going to do with this yet, any ideas :)

    Another update

    Got another General Form of judgement or order in the post today

    it reads

    Before His Honour Judge Iain Hughes QC sitting at Winchester County Court at Winchester, The law courts, Winchester

    UPON reading the file


    This is an application to set aside the order of the District Judge Taylor dated 23rd May 2019
    The order was made on the initiative of the court. The Claimant did not attend and is entitled to apply to have the order set aside.

    This and any similar applcations are to be listed before a full time district judge, sitting at Southampton time estimate 30 minutes, first open date.

    Dated 16th July 2019


    So, what does that mean?

    Firstly, I am not a lawyer.

    But it looks to me that His Honour Judge Iain Hughes QC has decided that the 'abuse of process' Order, see post #10 above, should not have been made.

    It also suggests that similar Orders, possibly others in Southampton and those in Newport IOW, should also be set aside.

    I don't know what you should do about it though.
