I never claimed to be a lawyer, but I listed my professional qualifications. You would be surprised by how often firms of solicitors come to Trading Standards for consumer law advice, then charge their clients for passing on the free advice given.
However, as I know that Johnny's local TS department do not provide a civil law advice or representation service, I suggested that he contact a solicitor for some free advice. He can then decide whether or not to engage legal representation.
As Welshy states, he should find out what the worst case scenario is and what chance he has of winning. It will cost a 4 figure sum to have a solicitor to represent him in court, plus the same (or more) for the pursuer if costs are awarded against him. That's a lot to gamble for an invoice for under £200, even though I suspect that costs won't be awarded. However, if costs aren't awarded, he won't get his solicitors fees back.
Personally, I would weigh up my chances of winning after taking some free advice, represent myself & hope that the pursuer either abandons or doesn't turn up on the day.
So, what's your expert advice @Left Back, or are you just sniping from the sidelines with your usual irrelevant nonsensical shite? Some of us in this thread are actially trying to help other posters.
I’n not the one that claimed to be an expert so didn’t offer any advice.
I’m curious. If you’re an expert why are you advising consulting a lawyer? If that isn’t the course of action you would take personally (with all your expertise) why advise someone else to do it? Perhaps you realise your opinion is actually worthless when it comes down to it despite you professing to be the font of all knowledge. This is because you know you have no clue what you’re talking about on this subject.
I’m sure a solicitor is going to say “take the advice from the Internet expert. No need for me mate”. That’s how they make a living at the end of the day. Sending potential clients away with free advice so they no longer require a solicitor. Surely you weren’t advising consulting a solicitor to confirm it would cost more than the invoice value to retain a solicitor. I’m positive no-one would be that stupid…
When you start flinging abuse at me for no reason other than you don’t get the basic concept of humour I’ll quite happily point out what a self important, egotistical clown you are.

So to summarise what’s happened while I’ve been out.
We have a poster who admits he’s not a lawyer, but claims to be an expert in the field that actual lawyers go to for advice about this, and his advice seems to be to go and see a lawyer before you do anything else.
Presumably he’s hoping an actual lawyer can sort this out for you with the free 15 minute consultation he’s recommending.

Even the draw puts France in pole position for 2nd I think. Wales away and England at home. I’d imagine 10 points from that barring more red cards.

Maybe I'm just paranoid and jaded by the whole thing, but if I see O'Mahoney doing that in a few weeks to Russell I'm not even confident it'll be yellow.
The one against France in the 6N last year. Flying headbutt from the French boy into Gilchrist (I think). The ref had to be talked into a red by Karl Dickson as TMO when the guidance was a lot clearer at the time as well.

Do you do this personal shit in every thread you pollute?
Happy to debate my consumer advice credentials with yours, however.
I hold the professional Trading Standards qualification & am a chartered member of CTSI. How about you?
Don’t back down, double down.
You started flinging insults at me and now you’re moaning that I reply? Wow.
Not a lawyer then. Glad we established that.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Red card could make this interesting.

I don't see anyone thanking you for your contributions to the thread.
Perhaps you should just STFU about things you know nothing about.
Stunning advice from a poster that’s regularly proven to be talking utter rubbish and now fancies himself as a lawyer.

Yeah, it's hilarious to reply to a thread asking for legal advice with scaremongering. Idiot.
I see you’re branching out from making a tit of yourself in the politics forum.
You’ll find spreading your wings pretty easy tbh.

Odd decision that. When your scrum is going to be that dominant through sheer bulk you just pound away with it until the ref starts flashing cards no?

That’s a shocking decision. Ball clearly hits Lamarro while Olivon is trying to gather it.

Knocked that on to Lamarro surely?

What is it with Rugby refs being born in one country but being affiliated with another. Ridley was born in France FFS

Could do with Italy winning this if we fancy second place but that’s not going to happen.

That doesn't sound right to me.
Here's the top of the current form 4a
Is that what you have received, and does it have a case reference number?
The whole form is available at https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/docs/default-source/rules-and-practice/forms/sheriff-court-forms/simple-procedure-forms-and-standard-orders-from-31-may-2023/form-4a---response-form.pdf?sfvrsn=f36d870_3
Feel free to PM me with whatever you have recieved if you are not sure.
Absolute nonsense. Admitting a breach of contract in a Sheriff Court is not equal to a stated case set out by an appeal court. The only Scottish case I'm aware of is the Dundee woman who ignored over 200 PCN's after admitting that she was aware of the signs & ignoring them, and (as far as I'm aware), this was only a court of first instance - not an appeal court. @johnnydun's case is nothing like this.
If @johnnydun chooses to admit breach of contract, the Sheriff will not have made a judgement, so the case will not have set a legal precedent
With regard to the "who was driving" argument, I would refer @johnnydun to https://consumeradvice.scot/ive-received-a-parking-ticket-from-a-private-car-park-i-dont-believe-i-should-have-received-this-do-i-have-to-pay-the-ticket/#:~:text=There is no law in,can appeal an unreasonable charge.
I would also suggest that he contacts Advice Direct Scotland rather than Dundee CAB - details are on the the link ^^^ directly above.
Look up humour in the dictionary. It’s under H.

Reading more into the way out of this by using the 'I wasn't driving, and therfore never entered into a contract' line...
I see that the were going to introduce the Keeper Liability law in Scotland this year, does anyone know if this is in force yet? I can't seem to find anything on it.
Don’t think that’s been introduced yet.

No, just a picture of the car, registered to me.
When you lose this case without them having any evidence you were driving the vehicle you’ve changed the game.
They’ll pursue every ticket after that. You’ll be 100% responsible for shifting the balance of power to the parking companies and fucking it up for the rest of us.

A Grand Slam showdown on St Patrick’s weekend in Dublin would have been incredible. f**k the refs and the French.
Barclay was asked yesterday if he was over the France game. He replied he was over it in the same way England were over the hand of god goal.
When we (probably) lose to Ireland that will put it to bed but occasionally I’ll think “what if the grand slam was on the line?”.
I don't blame the French. it was sod all to do with them.

Watched the game back now. When big Duhan said in his interview “I’ve never scored a hat-trick for England”.
Great player, love him, but jesus is he a bit thick when he speaks.

Apart from the first 20 I thought we looked comfortable today without being excellent.
Some moments of magic from Finn, Huw and big Duhan was more than enough to swat the morris dancers aside though.

It amuses me to see you so rattled so while I thank you for your invitation I’ll ignore it and post on whatever thread I like.
Now despite your ever lengthening posts trying to justify yourself I notice that you’ve never claimed anything I said was incorrect or false. I summarised your nonsense perfectly adequately and since then you’ve piped up with some more.
If you really were that much of an expert and wanted to stick your neck out I’m sure you could ask the OP to DM you the details/paperwork so you could work your legal magic. You haven’t done that of course. You’ve typed a load of waffle and given more contradictory advice and opinions to try and justify your claim to be an expert.
