A judge at Halifax County Court ruled the fee went against "common sense".

Judge Alex Foster ruled that the release fees were "discretionary" and GMD were not following their own guidelines in imposing them.

He ordered the West Yorkshire-based company's boss, George McDicken, to pay back a total of £740 in release fees and costs :):):):)

Useful case. Pity it was only county court and not precedent setting.

 

Towing fee is [edit]. Never mind that they didn't challenge the actual losses suffered by the clampers or the landowner.

 

£100 release fee is probably excessive in terms of actual loss caused.

Not news is it? People sue clampers every day and get judgements.

 

They won't see the £740. The clamping firm will phoenix tomorrow or just live with 3 CCJs. What are they going to take? Their portakabin office will have a crappy computer and some bits of paper in it.

 

Why on earth didn't they sue the hotel too?
