How Miss O’Brien Defeated a Parking Claim and Got £1,200 Back in Costs
When Miss O’Brien received a County Court claim from a private parking company, she felt overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. The idea of going to court, drafting legal documents, and navigating complex rules was daunting. Fortunately, she didn’t have to do any of that.
Instead, she used our solicitor-led Strike Out Application Service and not only was the claim dismissed, but the court also ordered the parking company to pay her £1,200 in legal costs.
The Problem: A Flawed Claim Disguised as Debt Recovery
Miss O’Brien’s case is just one example of how private parking companies continue to issue legal claims that appear convincing but often fail to meet key legal standards. These companies rely on the fact that most people either panic and pay or don’t know how to respond correctly.
But behind the scenes, many of these claims have major technical flaws. That’s where we come in.
Our Solution: Strike Out the Claim Before Trial
Rather than go through the stressful and time-consuming process of submitting a defence, gathering evidence, and preparing for a hearing, we took a different approach. With our legal team leading the case, we applied to the court to have the claim struck out early before it could go any further.
This strategy involved filing a formal application and highlighting serious legal deficiencies in the way the claim had been prepared.
⚠️ These arguments are highly technical and based on precise legal rules and court procedure. They are not something a typical defendant would know how to use effectively on their own which is why expert support makes all the difference.
The Result: Case Dismissed + £1,200 in Costs
Thanks to our solicitor’s expert handling, the judge agreed that the claim should never have reached court. The case was thrown out entirely, and the parking company was ordered to pay Miss O’Brien £1,200 in legal costs.
She didn’t attend court.
She didn’t write a defence.
She didn’t pay the parking company a penny.
And she ended up £1,200 better off.
