        Sounds like he gets another year to keep taking money off consumers - Trial won't be till May 2017, and then over 4 weeks. Plea isn't being entered till Oct '16.

            Apologies for being a nosey cow but OMG - what a read!!

            The last time I read something so unbelievable was when I was given the 50 Shades of Grey books........ I'm still trying to figure out if some of things mentioned in the books are even possible - perhaps I should give the UK Services and Support a call as they seem to be the leading authority on getting themselves into comprising positions - after all a 30 minute phone call with specialist is part of the service they provide......

            What is clear is that Legal Beagles were instrumental in raising awareness about this very manipulative and deceitful person and his company. LB and its members worked tirelessly to promote awareness on how to fight against this injustice and supported those who were sent court claims by the (you can pick the word you feel fits best - I'm making an effort to be more ladylike (and failing miserably at it!!)

            I've been part of LB for a long time, although I have been absent for a few years, but what I do know is no matter what is being openly discussed on the forums you can bet your grandma that off forum many LBer's are working their tails off working with countless different agencies and individuals to promote fairness and equality.

            If if it wasn't for Legal Beagles there would many more unfair and unjust practices and the individuals behind them n operation. I think it's safe to say that a LBer's bite is a lot worse than their bark!!!!!!

                      Some of you might remember that I set up http://www.urgent-passport-services.co.uk to try and deflect some of the traffic looking for urgent passport help away from the fee charging sites, such as BPS ... well I'm quite happy that it now appears, along with LegalBeagles, in the top 5 results, above BPS, on google searches for anything to do with urgent passport... and that urgent-passport-services.co.uk site alone has received over 15,000 hits - the legalbeagles page ( http://legalbeagles.info/get-a-passport-urgently/ ) has received over 20,000 hits - lets hope that that has saved at least a few people from being trapped into paying for unnecessary services. Conversely it is worrying how many hits the fee charging sites might have been getting !

                      So I'm going to update it and keep it running for now At least until the gov't actually do something about the fee charging bods.

                        Bloody well done!

                        Still no judgment on the JR app appeal, I'll give ASA a nudge.

                            Drop in the ocean but every little helps.

                            I tried similar with EHIC cards - but that's not done so well ( about 480 views over same period) so will have to put a bit of effort in on that one - http://ehic.uk or http://legalbeagles.info/EHIC/index.html - I think I may need to set up a dedicated wordpress rather than a forwarder to LB to get it in the rankings separately.

                              UK Services & Support have (predictably) had their appeal for permission to appeal the refused application for Judicial Review refused (predictably).

                              Mr Maclean has himself said that what this test must do is to exclude the outliers. If one imagines the distribution of responses by consumers as a bell curve, he rather sweetly assumed that at the top end would be those who had Cambridge first class degrees. In my experience, that is a very thin basis for saying that category might spot anything wrong with an advert more than others, but one knows what he means: at one end there will be the extra cautious and careful and at the other end there will be the foolish and inattentive. The bell curve contains the majority in the middle. If a significant number of those within the average range of consumers might well be misled by the presentation and content of an advertisement, then providing that is the focus of the application of the test it seems to me it is a proper application.
                              It dosen't look like ASA even bothered to attend the hearing.

                              Kind thanks to Jessica Tye of ASA for the judgment transcript and order.

                                Very sensible judgment in my view.
