thanks for moving it, but i dont need help with the PCN, I need advice about going to small claims court

Well this is where the parking experts reside .....I can tell you how to issue a claim and put you in General Legal Issues...but have no knowledge of the legislation with regards to Parking offences.

Ok, i should have put a bit more flesh on the bone here, but its a long story, CoL dragged it out for nearly 4 years then dropped it, and as they put me to an awful lot of work, i thought I would have a go at reclaiming some of the costs they put me to, court fees, numerous letters and time spent researching ect.

I am lead to believe that there are amounts set out by the courts that they will find exeptable, costs for letters and hourly rates.

but I cant find it and hoped you good people could point me in the right direction.

Okay with you now...so in effect the Parking element claim of the problem as now ceased.

Where did you successfully defend it? At PATAS/London Tribunals?

[BaldyBaldwin]

no, they cancelled it after 4 years, never got to PATAS, thats why I want to use Small claims

[Michael Browne]

Does that mean you never actually appealed to the adjudicator?

[BaldyBaldwin]

Nope, after 4 years it never got that far, as I said, Long story.

 

If you interested I will post the time line, I am going to work soon so will do it later.

That would help.

 

I don't understand how in 4 years you never had the opportunity to appeal to PATAS and in any claim that is going to be your first difficulty to overcome. The adjudication service is there for motorists to have their cases independently assessed at no cost, so why didn't you take advantage of it?
