I thought it was clear form the onset, when the defence disclosed the notice of removal of implied right, which area his advice was coming from.

It is sad to say that the same advice regarding direct payments is still happening despite this case.

On reading the judgement it appears that the title of this thread is misnamed.

Man pays charges and enforcement costs but then raises action for the costs of a hire car, loses that, and costs are awarded against him for that action.

Less catchy though.

Bit more to it than that, costs were awarded for all kinds of things.

And of course, in order to be awarded costs at all, you have to have lost in the first place.

Such as?

If the advice had been sound in the first place then this would never have arisen.

Yes absolutely.

And the case was not about the cost of hire. It was about if fees can be charged after a payment which is made directly to the authority. The finding was that of course, they can, the costs were a reflection on, and a consequence of, what a bloody silly question it was to ask.

Thank you for finally posting the judgement BA, it is of huge benefit. The claimant in this case was clearly an idiot. It's clear from his name that he perhaps grew up in a culture where 'officialdom' is not respected or is open to abuse. That is not intended as a sweeping statement on all things African but it is a possibility.

I never believe that in this day and age I will hear such racist and bigoted views.

You have judged someone from his name! How narrow-minded can you be?!!

I guess you feel the same way towards Chuka Umunna

For your information, he was born and bred here!

You, and the likes of you will judge him and stereotype him on his name alone.

For your information, but I guess you are so narrow minded to know;

Africans have deep respect for authorities.

We have traditional institutions that we hold in high esteem.

We transfer that training and upbringing to all constituted authorities.

But I guess you are such a sad racist to know that.

My greatest disappointment is with the Consumer Action Group for allowing this

A big shame on you!!!

Dear Consumer Action Group,

The posting I complained of was grossly racist!

I believe that it breached the Law ie "sending by means of a public electronic communications network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive".

I think that is s127 of the Communications Act 2003.

A reasonable person would be appalled by such message

Your responsibility was to report the post to the Police who would make the decision of persecuting provided it is in the public interest to do so.

I noticed that you have deleted the post.

Please, could you restore the post and report it to the police.

You shouldn't be destroying evidence of an alleged crime.

I would greatly appreciate it if you do the above and inform me.

That would reassure me that your organisation is not complicit in racism
