Anyway I would happily lose money and time just to give Barnet
Council a headache.

And just how do you think Barnet Council will recoup the costs you
impose on them?

John B

Is that any reason not to request that his costs are not met?

Not if that's what he wants to do.

So, back to my question - How will Barnet will recover _their_
costs?

hint re-arrange: payers, tax


Why is this relevant? Unless you are suggesting that no one ever
challenges a public body because they will always use tax payers
money to defend themselves, then I can't see why it should matter
that the council tax payers are paying in this case.

Also, if no one ever complains, nothing is ever put right. It's
possible, even if unlikely, that if enough complaints are received
over matters such as this, then the council may raise the minimum
intelligence requirement of Parking Attendants to something
substantially above a room temperature IQ, which can only be a
benefit to us all.


Room temperature IQ LOL.
