There is now a further material defect in the claim.
Having now seen both original PCNs for the two matters included in the live claim, it is confirmed that each PCN was issued at £85, not £95. The Particulars of Claim therefore misstate the amount of the underlying parking charges.
That is not a trivial error. The claim pleads £95 per PCN for two PCNs, namely £190 in principal parking charges. However, on the face of the original notices, the correct combined principal sum would be £170. The pleaded claim is therefore overstated even before considering the additional £70 per PCN add-ons and the claim for interest.
This is a material inconsistency and, if the matter ever reaches a hearing, it is exactly the sort of point that can be used against the Claimant. It supports the wider point that the claim has been advanced on a careless bulk-litigation basis without proper scrutiny of the actual documents relied upon.
Let me know when you receive the Notice of Allocation.
