This case was heard in March 2015. There has been great confusion as to what actually happened so I want to try to establish the facts. This is what I am told:
Mrs Wilkinson had her car taken by AW Wilson Bailiffs for a debt owed to Mr Murgatroyd. Mrs Wilkinson had already paid the debt direct to Mr Murgatroyd. The bailiff, Mr Thoburn, took the car to cover his fees which he was saying were ~£5000. Mrs Wilkinson showed him proof that the debt had been paid several weeks earlier.
Mrs Wilkinson injucted AW Wilson and the case was heard at Teesside Combined Court.
The judge ruled:
The further costs hearing ruled that the bailiff, Mr Thoburn, pay Mrs Wilkinson all of her costs. AW Wilson paid them on his behalf.
On this forum Milo has said these details are wrong as he has a transcript of the case and I ask that he clarify any errors. He says he has had many enquiries about this case over the past 18 months, so it would be of benefit to post a copy of the transcript for everyone to see.
