On 27 October, the first step in the JR procedure has started by submitting a pre-action protocol (PAP) letter to SMBC. This laid out the factual and legal basis of our claim and gave SMBC an opportunity to respond. We have now had a response and will be reviewing our next steps with legal counsel on Monday 09 November.
Not only that, our PAP letter also forced McDonalds and their planning consultant (Lichfields) to seek legal advice - we are becoming a lawful and costly thorn in their side! They may have deep pockets but we have heart.
Please help us keep up the momentum by sharing our fight far and wide - for our community and all those others who have had to bear the impacts of poor decisions!
