An Encouraging Judgment

The excellent Andrew Keogh has a link to this case.

Many private clampers are little more than extortionists, and it is high time that the law was amended to regulate their activities. I have dealt with a clamper who was a disqualified and thus uninsured driver, and another who pounced on an 82 year old man demanding £380 to release his car, and then assaulted a police officer who intervened. It is a shame that our otherwise energetic law makers have been too busy to deal with these abuses.
