Hi there - thanks for the reply - I guess wait and see when the summons comes and get a solicitor. I am actually now feeling really, really angry about this and a big part of me wants to go to court just so I can make them look as foolish and petty as possible!Believe it or not, there's a silver lining to this cloud...
Up until now it appears that you've been dealing with Transport Investigations Ltd. Opinions vary as to their competency but I think most would agree that they couldn't successfully arrange a piss-up in a brewery. Now that they've ignored your letter (as usual) they will be handing the case file back to the TOC. At which point it should be pretty easy to get them to realise that they don't have a case that would stand up in court.
Good argument and thanks for your input - as with all, it is very much appreciated!If they do take it to court under byelaw 18, I'd certainly recommend looking for a good solicitor, and then trying to throw in every argument there is, including trying the one that the byelaw might be ultra vires (invalid) because parliament's version (RORA) explicitly requires an intent not to pay. (Discussed extensively on earlier threads in the forum. This appears to be a good case to demonstrate what is wrong with that byelaw if they try to use it.)
