Petition Tackling junk calls
More details
Amend The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 adding a new clause:-
"30(4) Where such procedings make a claim for damages not exceeding £50 the claimant will not be required to justify the value of the claim, only that they have suffered some damages, inclding mere inconvenience, as a result of a breach."
Doing this will allow anyone suffering junk calls to invoice the caller, and then pursue a county court claim, for £50. The callers will have to settle without court as they know they would lose, so no burden on the courts.
I feel that thousands of victims of junk calls invoicing £50 would be very effective, as well as satisfying for the victim.
