    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

So whilst I cannot comment on the advice to ignore a PPC letter, as that would be biased, the fact still remains of the responsibility of all parties to follow and should a party not comply then the possible financial implications that may follow by not doing so.

 

Noted. However, all the defender need to is advise the Sheriff (or Judge) of the ongoing practice of fleecing motorists by the use of sustained speculative correspondence in order to make them pay up, and has a ready-made justification for not responding or entering into any correspondence.

 

The PPC's are their own worst enemy for this - they created this 'vertical' market of a rather 'seedy' business model, and use all their powers to weaken the resolve of the letter recipients. As there is no independent arbiter (as there is with Local authority decriminalised appeals) a motorist receiving an invoice unasked has no obligation to treat it with any more respect than junk mail. I believe no judge would hold any motorist liable to a wasted costs order on the premise you outlined, but if you can quote case law where it pertains to a PPC pursuer, I would be interested in reading it.

Everyone that disagrees with Perky or has a different opinion is a "fool". Some things have not changed. When are you taking up the Pepipoo Challenge Perky? Surely you are not too yellow to stand up and face a proper opponent? You have shirked the Challenge for 8 months now, isn't it time you stood up for what you say you believe in? Or do you only take cherry picked cases with clueless defendants?

In Scotland the CPR does not apply, I am only referring to England/Wales.

 

The main thing to remember is the paperwork that is sent out beforehand, the PPC will fall down if they try and suggest the keeper is liable (directly or indirectly) but if they do it correctly then all will be OK.

 

Case Law, I can refer you to some English county court references, these are not case law in the way I think you mean and I do not have any transcripts of these hearings so a case number will not give you anything except a number and parties involved.

I know I shouldnt but I will.

 

'Cherry Picked Cases', when paperwork is issued against a defendant how does anyone know how it will go, who they are up against ?

 

Lets take Thomas for example, yes he admitted to being the driver but then came on the forums and got advice from experts on how to come up with a defence that would see the PPC off.

At this, if the case were cherry picked the PPC would have backed down as a formidable force such as anonoms on the net were involved.

The PPC continued the case, it went to an initial hearing where the judge was not happy with the POC and ordered the claim as written (submitted via MCOL so 24lines or 1080 characters) was not sufficient and that it be resubmitted within 14days.

The POC was rewritten and submitted - it then went to a full hearing and Thomas went along with 'Mr Large' (who I suspect you know very well) and put all the arguments over (penalty/signage and the likes) and after due consideration Thomas lost.

So we get back to the fact the ONLY difference here was the identity of the driver was known, but that aside if the other legal arguments stood then the identity of the driver is not important.

 

I would still like to know how you define 'Cherry Picked'.

Easy! THEY cannot understand the difference themselves! Mind you, that letter was worthy of an MP's redaction. I cannot establish if the double yellow lines they refer to are on a public highway, in which case, a PCN would ne the correct description.

 

Does this help any? The vehicle was parked on private land.

Non conclusively. Councils do empower private firms to run parking and enforcement (Like Glasgow's 'City Parking'). Similarly without the shopping centre details my local knowledge is useless - Sauchuehall Street SC? Silverburn SC? The fact is the DVLA treat the transgression in the same terms as decriminalised parking and do not distinguish between public and private parking. Perhaps they should?

More insults, you know they do say that once a person resorts to personal insults then the argument is lost.

 

I wouldnt know your profile as you are hiding behind your internet name, should you wish to reveal your real identity then we can decide if we can form a double act but I doubt that will ever happen when we can hide behind tghe internet and throw insults, world of difference insulting someone you know face-face, I mean that would take a real man.

Oh dear, our friend has resported to throwing his toys out of the pram again. For someone who has registered bogus IDs which must run into three figures by now to attack others for staying low profile is a good laugh. Then the playground bully talk, all very familiar MO for The Ego. He may have gone back to Planet Perky for now but no doubt we will see him again soon claiming some bogus or fantasy victory in some other fictitious court case. And BTW Perky I did receive your PM but am very picky who my penfriends are. I draw the line at ****** PPC bosses.

"'Some' PPCs also like to refer to the 'pre-action protocols' of CPR. More rubbish from them. the disclosure provisions (31) don't apply to the small claims track. Who would have thought that PPCs would get is so wrong . . . . . . . . they need better consultants." Where does this mention Scotland ? Maybe it it was the "they need better consultants" that caused loopy to vent. Self control is an asset. And still 'the challenge' is not picked up. QED.

'the challenge', Ah this is the one where a person from another site wants to get a setup parking charge and not pay it so they get taken to court.

If the parking company win the driver will then complain to the court that the parking charge was a setup and the case was a sham. This could then get the parking company classed as a Vexatious litigant and cause major problems, thus playing into the hands of the site and members.

Many people come on here after getting genuine parking charges, why dont you take it up on their behalf, Oh I forgot you already did .. Thomas and Purdy spring to mind, and you lost.

Then comes the 'spin' by certain members of the community stating it was a dumb Judge, defendant never knew the law, cherry picked case or even silence and "We never helped" followed by 'next time we will' and the saga goes on.

The challenge is no challenge because it is legally flawed and quite obvious a setup to entrap whatever PPC is silly enough to do it.

 

As for Scotland, the thread is called "Scottish law - Parking on private Land", the clue is in the title where scotland came from.

There you go, the Pepipoo Challenge sidestepped again by Perky. On the normal spurious grounds. We know how losing would affect you Perky. The loss of face would be a bitter blow for someone who has convinced himself lhe is the next Perry Mason. Don't worry about it. Not everyone has the courage of their convictions when it comes down to the wire. You are not alone in that. BTW is there anything the experts can help you with again while you are on here? Like your missus getting done for carrying a dangerous load perhaps? Do tell, we are here to help.

I am sure the challenge would be taken up if it were legal, but it is clearly NOT legal.

A person can not take a case to court to prove a point (not sure what point it would prove anyway as its only the county court).

If a person wanted to do this correctly they would have to get leave from the court to do this (ask permission).

If the person who is challenging does this then it will be taken up, 100% guaranteed, but it needs to be with the approval of the court so nothing can backfire.

Simple as.

Gottit! This SC is less straightforward than most - as you probaby know, the controls were put in place late last year and were pretty well flagged with advance signage, followed by the erection of substantial (and highly visible) signs within the car parks themselves. But herein lies the complication.

 

This SC straddlles two county boundaries, and traffic regulation (that is, the physical movement of vehicles from the traffic lights that control most of the entrance poits is/has become a serious problem. I'm only aware of DYLs on the access roads to the car parks themselves, there being no other barriers, charges and I don;t think there are even time limits either, so If it went to court, you would need to be careful as these roads may well have been adopted, or accepted by the council as 'public'. This could be a minefield!

Your logic is about as sound as wet tissue paper.

 

The challenge is entirely sound - Perky states a location in which his company has been employed as agent to enforce parking restrictions. A person parks there, in direct contravention of whatever "terms" are in place. All further play invoices and daffy letters are ignored, up until court proceedings are issued, at which point the claim is defended.

 

Which of these steps is not legal?

 

A person can not take a case to court to prove a point (not sure what point it would prove anyway as its only the county court).

If a person wanted to do this correctly they would have to get leave from the court to do this (ask permission).

Poppycock. If the point is to settle a point of law, then court is absolutely the place to do it.

 

The challenge is that Perky et al. have no basis in law to make their claims, not that they will not attempt to make a claim anyway.

What is the bank charges case if not a pre-arranged test case? It's OK Perky, we know you are afraid you will lose it. Don't sweat it. Being a coward in some circumstances is human.

 

You will find that BEFORE the test case happened, they obtained leave from the court to do it.

I personally (nor the driver) were aware of any signage nor any change in policy re: use of PPC's to enforce arbitrary parking penalties.

 

Correct no barriers, no charges & no time limit. Car was not parked on any access road but within the Car Park. As I say soon as I get a chance I'll get some photo's. Thanks

You misunderstand, it is quite possible for PPCs to be contracted to issue Parking Tickets as agents for the council - and in these cases they are not arbitrary. Furtehr to your picture, this wasn;t an access road, but wholly contaiined within the 'car park'. As such there is no requirement for signage to explain the DYL prohibitions.

 

This then opens a fresh argument, why should a PPC have any less responsibility to explain the requirements of their particular DYL than a council has.... unless it is simply for their own entertainment and enjoyment?

I understand that PPC's may be contracted. I lived in Brighton for a while .. jesus wept I got a PCN at 09.04 on a Sunday morning for £60. Parking is prohibited after 09.00 (I didn't as yet have my Residents Permit). In any case wouldn't any PCN or Notice to Owner be identified as such and follow the standard guidelines and detail the offence etc. This was clearly not the case.

 

I as a driver have received numerous tickets (NTO's) at times and on numerous occassions I've argued that DYL were not clear i.e. under water etc. but that's another story. The fact remains that I understood clearly this was not a civil matter but Council/Police/Traffic Warden or PPC contracted by the Local Council. With the Official Bodies I had the right to defend and with satisfactory results in several cases. I never had debt collectors hassling me as a RK.

 

The Notice to Owner (RK) didn't even stipulate the 'infraction' or 'Offence' .. it was merely an invoice.

 

Ok if this is a PPC contracted by Local Council or whatever then fair play but if not then the DYL's cannot be enforced on private land nor can they require me to detail who the driver was.

 

You know far more about this than me and I did ask advice but I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at at times. This is my lack of knowledge not your advice.

 

Cheers

We're opening up the debate, and as such I have to mention the other issues you raised to avoid a misunderstanding. :) In the situation you describe, the lines could be made of toffee for all the use they are, they neither prove a transgression or impose any oblgation on the parker.

 

It is contract law, and at this SC, I have seen no signage that states what its 'lines' are for. Decoration? Amusement? Take your pick. Your agreement to their contract terms is paramount, if they don't have this - and can PROVE it, they've got a big problem collecting on their 'invoice'.
