I recently got a parking ticket from UKPC in the Becton triangle retail park. I understand that as I was not on the public highway or on property owned by the local council this is not a penalty ticket, but an invoice for an alleged contract UKPC are alledging they made with the driver of the vehicle. In order for a contract to be legally binding there needs to be both "Offer" and "acceptance" by the other party. Would I be right to assume that one can only accept an "offer" once an "offer" has been received ie I cannot without knowlege of an offer accept it? Am I right to assume that as there was no sign or communication of UKPC intending to make an "offer" ie you park here and we will charge you £X, then it does not seem possible to make a legally binding "acceptance" of this offer and form a contract? More over am I right to assume that if they subsequently put up signs, these signs must be clearly visible, prior to one making an "implied Acceptance", by parking their car. ie if you park you car and then see their signs and susequently move your car you have not accepted their offer to a legally binding contract?
