fancy word for being legally responsible for something, in this case whether PPC's have any rights or responsibilites in law for the car parks they manage. I have been having long discussions with the Valuations Agency about whether the car parks "managed" by private parking companies should be treated separately from the stores they serve as at least one of them is claiming commercial justification for their made up charges. I short, the answer os "no" as the land is said to be contiguous to the stores and thus treated as one and the same for rating assessments (case law from 1955). This means that the parking co's dont HAVE to pay separate rates and the stores can be responsible for all of the woes caused by these companies and they can ride off into the sunset scot free with bundles of cash. Now, I have found 1 place where there is an exception to this rule and the VoA is going to make another visit to the site as the plans they have are 8 years out of date and there is a dispute over the rateable value anyway. I will keep you posted on any developments but if you know of any big shop that uses a PPC and has recently (last 5 years) built or extended their car park please post on here the location as I bet that some of these new developments will fall into the VoA gap and we can ask the relevant questions of them and moan at the stores as well (but after they have been hit with a big bill)
