I won my court case today!

[PETE T]

Hi,

I didnt know what section to put this in but as it happened while I was commuting so I put it here!

I was thrown off my bike just over 2 years ago when I hit a pothole in Peckham High Street.I smashed my nose to bits and have lots of scaring on it.It makes me look tough though!

The case finally went to court today and I won!
It was against TFL as it was on a red route,and they had no evidence that they have a proper road defect inspection in place!

I won £8379.60 well chuffed!

Cheers off for a Fosters!

Pete

I not that flush though cos a new nose is £3500 and 2 x front teeth are £1000!

Congratulations, you were owed it. I remember when this happened (on the C+ forum, I think).

 

[PETE T]

That was the one Cranky..ahh the good ole days!

Glad it worked out - my first thought was "n+1" but I thought you might mistake n = number of bikes you have for n = nose!

 

[Willow]

enough for a nice bike though

 

[mickle]

Nearly enough for an Alfa Romeo 8C Competitione.

But not quite.

Ouch - glad you won - it's very difficult prosecuting councils - so hats off to you !

 

[wlc1]

Good on you.

I'd have left the nose well alone and pocketed the 3 and half Thousand. LOL

 

[Maz]

f@@k me, that's bad. I hope the payout has eased the pain!

Well done for staying the course and getting TfL to cough up, much respect!
I can't even get them to answer a simple local enquiry!
