FAO Ethel re parking ticket

[Bathsheba]

Hi Ethel. Don't know if you remember, but i posted a question in August about receiving what i thought to be an unfair parking ticket? You kindly referred me to some helpful forums, and i was all set to fight it, but in the end i lost my nerve and paid up.
After reading this article in my local paper last night, i'm glad i did! http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-feature s/8/news/15246/parking-penalty-just-judge-rule s

That is a very interesting link, thanks, bathsheba.

Could you keep me updated if there is any further development reported in your paper, if the driver appeals?

Thanks, sweetie

Thanks north star. Interesting.
Combined Parking Solutions- initials CPS. Underhand and sneaky choice of name for the company in my opinion. x

I thought exactly the same thing about the CPS name.

This isn't a 'trivial' case by any means - it is a landmark case and will have ramifications at a time when the government is considering 'clamping down' on these private parking enforcers.

I hope he does appeal to get a legally binding opinion from a higher court.
