One Parking Solutions represented by QDR Solicitors - Damning judgement

[cjcregg]

Strangely enough The Sunday Times ran a story almost exactly a year ago today about another OPS case where a boxing coach got a default judgment withdrawn because OPS broke an agreement for the defendant to file his defence a week late. 

 

 

Quote

Most mornings, boxing coach Neil Donohue would stop at his favourite coffee shop in Worthing, West Sussex, on his drive to work.

 

Neil, 52, who owns a boxing and bodybuilding gym in nearby Lancing, would regularly leave his vehicle in a six-space private car park operated by One Parking Solution, paying the minimum 50p for a ticket while he popped into Starbucks for five minutes.

And a few days later, more often than not, Neil would get a £100 fine in the post.

 

One Parking Solution, a private firm, operates CCTV cameras to record the numberplates of cars entering and leaving the car park, which included Neil in his Volkswagen Tiguan.

 

In his case, the company would then go onto a government database, lawfully, to find his home address and issue him with a fine for, it claimed, failing to pay and display.
