  • ParkingEye meets its match as it takes on a top barrister over an £85 fine

    When a parking company fired off an £85 ticket to Nicholas Bowen, little did it know just who it was taking on.
    ParkingEye went after Bowen for overstaying the free two-hour limit at a motorway service station and, when he wouldn’t roll over, decided to sue him. But the firm, owned by Capita, may now be regretting picking this particular fight after a judge struck out the case and ordered the company to pay his costs of £1,550.

      Just wondering if he hired himself to write his defence (dunno how that would or could work) as it's unlikely an LiP would be awarded that much.

        LiPs will get £19 per hour however if you are self employed and can prove losses as a result of unreasonable conduct then its probably likely he would have gone this route for a few hours work.
