Private parking tickets / Re: VCS CN - Stopping in a prohibited zone - Bristol airport - 3 x CNs in 13 minutes

Thanks. The agent asked if I was driving and raised a lot of points and cases, the judge also asked him a lot of questions and picked apart the case. I then went through the points you advised on when I gave my evidence and it initially went on for 75 mins, followed by a break and then we came back and the judge gave his judgement.

I will pursue the costs for sure. Thanks again.

Sorry, I was not clear above. I meant to say, will the judgement of today's decision, my case against VCS, be available for me to access online anywhere? Thanks.

Just wanted to post an update to say that I attended the hearing today and won! Hugely grateful for all the support I have received on this forum. The two main points that it seemed to hinge on, unsurprisingly, were them not being able to prove the identity of the driver and the contract issue.

Thank you for all the guidance, without which I probably wouldn't have taken it this far. Burgess of course did not attend but an agent did. The judge said he could not find VCS v Edward but fortunately I had printed off copies of it, as per your advice. The judge was very helpful. I don't know if the judgement is published anywhere but if it is I would be interested to know where to find it. The judge awarded me £103 costs.

For anyone else reading this in a similar situation, the judge agreed that I was under no legal obligation to disclose who the driver was to VCS. He said that there may be a gap in the law but it was not for this court to act on that.

I have added the file in here "Claim form 300525" and "Redacted claim form". Are these the right forms?

Many thanks as always.

Thank you, yes I see.

I will plan to attend court on 24th February. As I'm self-employed, this will cost me a day's pay. I have seen advice on this forum for making a counter claim for costs, in the event that I am successful. I will put something together on this basis, hours spent on the case etc, and come back to this forum a week before the court date to see what you think, if that's ok. Many thanks again.

Thank you, much appreciated.

If I could ask a question that may sound stupid...

I have stated in my WS:

"The driver has never been identified and there is no legal obligation for the vehicle keeper to identify the driver to a private parking operator".

Is the judge likely to ask me who the driver was?

Many thanks.
