Good afternoon,
Just a quick question regarding the Civil Procedure Rules.
A private parking firm took me to small claims last year, i'll not get into the particulars but I won.
The 'alleged offence' was from 2018. (call 2018 case)
Anyway I have now received a new claim from the same parking firm, for an 'alleged offence' which took place in 2016 (2016 case)
So the parking firm never sent me anything regarding this 2016 case... until they lost in court for the more recent 2018 case.
Anyway is there any rules on the same firm taking you to court twice? I understand they're two different contracts however this case was from 2016.. so if the parking firm wanted to play fair, reduce the costs and burden on the court... they could of made the two claims at the same time, and reduce all the hassle.
Is my point valid?
