I did as advised above, and I got the cheque today. Thank you all.

It will be fun, but is my order enforceable? I am the Defendant and not the claimant, and I believe there is further cost involved if pursuing enforcement. My thinking is- I never had the money, so I shouldn't bother, however if I can inconvenience and annoy them and it won't cost more than what I stand to gain, bring it on. I spoke to the court, but they just said I need legal advice.

£100 - They may well have sent it, but I have received post everyday since that email and the cheque is nowhere to be found. Thanks

Hello back again, is it often that VCS do not comply with the court order about defendant's costs? I emailed them on 13th reminding them of the court order and supplying bank details, as I wasn't sure how would costs be paid. They replied that they had sent me a cheque prior to my email. I haven't received anything, so I emailed again, and they haven't even bothered replying this time. They had 21 days, which expired on Monday. I couldn't quite find information on how to proceed or if it will be worth my time/money, so back for advice again.

I want to take the time to thank all of you who have gave me guidance, advice and reassurance. You took the time to read through all my documents, statements, evidence, emails etc and reply to all my questions. Half of the costs are yours(donation made), the rest, if you don't mind, I am getting a decent drink with - to help relieve all the accumulated stress. If one day I am in a position to donate more, I shall. Now I need to figure out how to get my money off Simon.

So..... I would probably have to wait for the decision in writing , but I wil try to summarise the decision to the best of my ability. The case was dismissed because VCS failed to convince the judge that they could issue a PCN for not stoppin, as it wasn't part of their own contract. Mr Pickup tried to explain that this was a charge for parking in restricted area of the car park. The court did not agree, because I explained I was not at a car park, neither on the red route. So the court was not convinced that I had breeched any of their terms. The judge did not discuss my other points. In my closing statement, I went through all my points that was that. Not sure how what happens now, but the judge said there was nothing else for me to do.

Claim dismissed, £100 awarded to defendant, no right of appeal. Will go into a few more details when I get home.

If by judge lottery you mean, my judge is decided minutes before the hearing. I think this is the case. They just told me that there are four judges and I won't know until the start who it is, and whether they have had the time to read the file or not. Oh well.

Wish me luck, today is the day! will update as soon as I can.

I emailed the court last week with the supplemental ws. I added a bit about one of the debt collectors being a headline sponsor for the IPC annual conference in my paragraph where I address the issue of additional charges allowed by the parking association. I am just going over my main points in preparation for the hearing. I have some questions regarding the day. 1. Will there be information on where the hearing is? 2. Is there anything I should be aware of when I get to court? How do I address the judge? Do I refer to VCS as the claimant or use them interchangeably? Thank you

I will include this bit about Jake, however I am not sure that I can claim they do not invest anything. In their contract, it does say that it is their obligation to maintain the infrastructure related to parking management( signage, markings, ets). Also, a portion of the "spoils" does go back to JLA( as per their contract, they redacted their version, but mine has the % they have to pay to JLA), so that revenue from PCNs may well be used to improve the airport itself, even though it is not directly re-invested by vcs. She has copied and pasted it, however she has added at the end that "This is supported within the scope of the tender document."

I probably will. In for a penny... and all that. Since I will "admit" to being served if I send a response, do I send it via email? They don't care to respect the judge's order or my request, so not sure whether insisting on being served via post is of any use anymore.

I also found the a copy of the old byelaws, which I attach to my SWS if I decide to use it. Good job I am not a judge, I'd be bored/annoyed if people kept on saying the same things in 100 different ways.

letters I have received ( the one for the reduced charge) and the second submission of the particulars of claim were signed by him.

supplemental ws ready. I am still not sure whether to send it or not, however I am uploading for your review. I haven't received anything in the post, so I assume they will only serve me via email. witness statement - supplemental.pdf
