Civil Enforcement Limited were in court today in Aberdeen on fraud charges. The case is expected to conclude tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a number of forum reports and request to The Prankster have noted that recent court filings from CEL have concerned cases where the motorists claim no notice to driver or notice to keeper were ever served.
If this is correct then this would seem to be a far cheaper way of running a parking company. Why bother with actually doing all that tiresome car park management when you can just serve court claims on random members of the public.Enough will pay up to make your business extremely profitable.
As for motorists hit with these outrageous claims, all they need is a watch...oh, wait!

update on the CO_OP staff case please? , on hold for over 12 mths
ReplyDeleteNo news on this. Perhaps it is waiting for this case
Deletepoint taken , however this case is not a parking case and the legalities as such , but is a basic fraud , against the people of Scotland. I wonder if Mr Andrew Moray Stuart , do you think he will appear by video link from his home in Mauritius or Dubai?
ReplyDeleteDo we know if CEL actually showed up?
ReplyDeleteto press , up to today only their solicitors , however the burning question is WHO IS CEL? , hidden behind a maze of (semi)fake companies and leading to Mr Andrew Moray Stuart , who has his home(s) in Mauritius and Dubai?
ReplyDeleteAren't Gary Superstar Wayne & Ashley Gisajob Cohen the wee bawbags in charge?
Deleteare they or are they employees? Ashely Cohen signs forms on the pretext that he is the companies solicitor
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the Court claims for cases with no NTD and NTK. Obviously on strictly legal basis there is no need to issue either if you don't intend to rely on keeper liability, but on proving who was driving. Do we know if CEL have shown up to any hearings for such cases? Any other details?
ReplyDeleteA bit of an update from yesterday's proceedings. They had a number of wronged motorists lined up as witnesses for the prosecution. Sounds quite serious!

DeleteI'll learn how to post one day, (sigh)!
DeleteUp to a point. It seems that the prosecution is against the corporate body so a conviction will just result in a fine which they can laugh off. Absolute worse case, they can fold and phoenix and carry on as before.
DeleteUntil the directors are personally being told to show up and bring a toothbrush, it's just another cost of doing business.

ReplyDeletetotal cockup by the CPS and TS , CEL live another day *ossers
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for a report on what happened (apart from CEL being found not guilty)
DeleteFiscal, not CPS. Think Laurel vs Hardy.
DeleteSad times though. Did Sheriff Savage suggest that they only needed a watch?

Thanks Alan. It seems inconceivable (I keep using that word) but it looks rather like the prosecution didn't actually produce one of the fraudulent PCNs, just a bunch of witnesses who said what they'd received. And as we know, regular people are all liars, unlike lawyers who are being paid to tell the absolute truth.
