Phillip Carr v Vehicle Control Services

A useful judgement on service of a claim form and appealing findings of fact.

Thanks Southpaw - I watched this hearing via the court livestream, good that the written judgement is now available to reference.

VCS' representative said he had been instructed to report that VCS would seek to appeal any adverse judgement to the Supreme Court  ::)

Interesting, thank you for posting.

So, under CPR 6.9, if a parking company has “reason to believe” that the DVLA/KADOE/V5C address it has been given is wrong, eg if the registered keeper has telephoned them and told them so, then it can’t just proceed with what it knows to be the wrong address in order to get a default judgment in its favour.

Unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise!

If VCS try and appeal that, I'll eat my hat.
