Summary judgement and costs granted in favour of our client against Britannia Parking represented by BW Legal.

A summary judgement is  a  court judgement, given at an early stage, finding for a party without a full trial of the issues.  In order to obtain a summary judgement, the applicant which can be either the Claimant or the Defendant must make an application under CPR 24 on a point of law or evidence which can reasonably be expected to be available at trial or the lack of it, or a combination of both.

Britannia Parking represented by BW Legal brought a claim against our client as the keeper  without complying with the procedure set out under Schedule 4 para 4 of the Protection of freedoms Act 2012.   After reviewing the evidence, we recommended our client to instruct our solicitor’s partner to make  inter alia an application for summary judgement under CPR 24 because the claim had no real prospect  of success and there was  no other compelling reason why the claim should have been disposed of at a trial.

At the hearing, our client was brilliantly represented by Mr Bartholomew Hayden and the Court found in favour of our client in granting summary judgement and her costs of £1,400.
