    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods.

The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect.

Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

I received a parking ticket on 04/08/07 for parking outside my own house at 08.21 when i should have moved the car by 8am. :rolleyes:

 

The reason for my post is the reg number is wrong on the ticket, so i want to ask does this ticket still stand or will it be cancelled?

 

Do i write in to appeal against it or just leave it as there is no way of tracing e with the wrong reg? I am not sure if the local traffic wardens take pics when issuing tickets.

 

Cheers

There is no need to appeal the PCN will be processed on the VRM on the PCN which luckily for you (as you were parked in contravention) is not your vehicle. I suspect once the ticket gets to notice of owner stage it will be cancelled as the details will not tie up with those for the vehicle at DVLA. If you appeal you are getting involved in a PCN which technically has not been issued to your vehicle.

I would be interested how you can state quite categorically that the OP's vehicle was in contravention without you having been there to witness it or seen the PCN to see if it was complient.

No worries, I wasn't having a dig at you for posting your (legitimate) question, it was easier to do the search and post the links to allow you to browse them at your leisure.:)

 

Cheers Rob, did not take it as a dig ;) i know how difficult it is on times to finmd what you are looking for in a forum.

The OP has said he was parked in contravention which is why he was querying the wrong VRM as a way of appeal. I have not said the PCN was complient quite the opposite in fact. So try and find something more useful to do than just have a dig at other forum members.

Have to agree with green_and_mean, certain users of this forum in particular seem to take the slightest thing to dig at other members... apology in order to green_and_mean I think Rob !

Pot, kettle, black. Most of your posts have been of little help to forum members Green, so you are in no position to criticise me for commenting on you.

If you look at Green and Means posts Perky, you will see the majority have been of no help to other members and are often critical. So, no apology due. I stand by what I said. He could easily have posted what he did without the comment relating to the alleged contravention, but he chose to put the comment in (typical of his general attitude towards members who post in the parking section unfortunately).

A forum to discuss the legalities or unlawfulness of parking tickets or charges

 

There would be little point discussing anything if everyone agreed 100% with each other would there? I give help where help is due but do not see the point of helping people escape being fined for something they knew full well was wrong when they did it. There is a big difference from getting a PCN due to missleading signage to posts such as 'I left my car on a Bus stop while I went shopping because I was in a hurry and got a PCN is there any way I can get out of it' .

I think selfish and dangerous parking is wrong and feel those that do it with no consideration for others should be punished if thats a crime then lock me up but I think if you look in the highway code the law is on my side.

This forum surely is for giving advice to those that have tried to act within the law and been caught out by the Council or Parking co. acting wrongly rather than trying to aid those that drive and park with no consideration for others escape the consequences.

If not the next logical step would be to open a forum for drunk drivers or speeding ticket advice. I can just see it now ' I was doing 120 mph past the local school and got done for speeding but the copper didn't have his hat on can I get off!!?'

Whilst we all having differing views, which is a normal and healthy human condition, rhew major difference with grean_and_mean is that he wishes to introduce a moral element into parking law.

 

IOW, as far as he is concerned, if you park unlawfully (not illegally - that would be a criminal matter) then however wrong the council or private parking company may be in their enforcement process, you should pay.

 

Others take the view that if motorists continue to be hemmed in by ever more restrictive laws - especially those aimed at revenue gathering - then it is right and proper that both sides of the battle should have to abide by the letter of the law. If a Council are arrogant enough to consider themselves above the law to the extent that they continually attempt to enforce worn out or improper signage, or use paperwork that does not comply with the law that grants them the right to enforce then they should forfeit that enforcement right and the revenue that attaches to it.

 

As for private parking companies and clampers, there should be a special place in Hell reserved for them.

 

What I would ask green_and_mean is this. If you are driving down a motorway and notice that your speed has strayed up to 75mph, do you voluntarily post of your £60 and licence for 3 points to be added - or do you wait to be caught? If you want to enforce law on the basis of morality instead of fact, then your should of course, take the former course of action and volunteer to your guilt.

 

As to the comments about a forum to 'get off' speeding tickets, go and look at Pepipoo. Your example of 120 mph is just a nonsense example that attempts to apply emotional blackmail. In the circumstance you describe, if the school was occupied or start/end of day, then the Police would not be concerned with speeding - it would be a matter of dangerous driving. If the school was closed for holidays or it was the middle of the night then the presence of the school is irrelevant and is a simple device to attach emotion to a legal argument

to green_and_mean ..

What patdavies is trying to say is .. its ok for shopkeepers/hotel owners to pay to purchase/rent land and want it for their own customers, its ok for the shopkeepers/landowners to pay for the upkeep of the land, pay rates and even insure it for liability etc.

Then its OK for someone else who is not using the services of the shop/hotel to just park their car on the land because they cant be bothered to pay 30p at the local pay&display.

 

Then when the landowner gets fed up with this and doesnt have the spare £1000+ to install a barrier system or other device (as we all know small business owners are loaded and have lots of spare cash ... yeah right), doesnt want to clamp vehicles as its bad for business and just a generally nasty thing to do .. they put up clear notices stating its private land and as a deterrent puts a charge of £60 or whatever to stop people who are not customers parking there.

 

Pat and certain other users think its OK for someone to see the sign and completely ignore it, then when a ticket is issued (as it said it would be on the sign) .. they come out with all types of bu#####t to avoid paying it.

 

How many posts have pat & co replied to when all the OP has stated is "I got a ticket for parking on a private carpark .. how can I get out of it" .. and their repsonse is "Ignore it .. " (or similar) .. Lots and Lots is the answer.

 

How many times have pat & co replied with "well did you see the sign", "did you overstay", "were you a customer", "well it was a fair ticket then" .. NEVER I think is the answer

 

Just sums it up really ... they are not interested in the legality .. just ways of wriggling out of it.

 

its obvious that pat and the majority of others donot own businesses and have no real idea of the real frustration and annoyance of landowners who just want their land for their customers ..

 

This forum is called "A forum to discuss the legalities or unlawfulness of parking tickets or charges"

 

Most of the posts seem to go away from the whole ethos of the title above ..

 

At the end of the day .. if a driver does not park on private land to which they should not be .. then they would not get a ticket ... not rocket science !!!! but thats another argument.

This thread isn't even about private land, and in the ones that are the driver often has an invitation to park there but is being scammed.

Although it is hoped such discussion will be of use to readers, before exposing yourself to risk of loss you should not rely on any principles discussed without confirming the situation with a qualified person.

Its not just about morals its about intention a vast majority of PCNs are issued to those who had no intention of parking within the law but took a risk...for those I have no sympathy. To me its no difference from dropping litter, speeding, smoking in public buildings its all anti social and against the law. Parking was decriminalised not to trivialise parking or lessen the offence but to improve enforcement as the Police no longer had the resources to meet the growing problem. It is still wrong both legally and morally to park in breach of the law whether its civil or criminal.

I guess I'm just an honest person if I have done wrong I'll admit it and face the consequences.

Councils are not the enemy they are democratically elected by us to make our towns a safer and more pleasant place to live. Similar arguments are used for speed cameras being used to raise cash but if you don't speed you don't have to pay.

So if you park unlawfully, you send the council the money for the fine, whether or not you get a PCN? Or do you just pay up without question when you get a PCN, IOW when you're caught?

 

I appreciate that if you never get a PCN ,the this is a purely hypothetical question, but is this honesty that you are claiming total or conditional?

 

 

Councils are not the enemy they are democratically elected by us to make our towns a safer and more pleasant place to live. Similar arguments are used for speed cameras being used to raise cash but if you don't speed you don't have to pay.

 

Councillors are elected; council officers are not. there is a huge amount of control from central government as they control the majority of the council's money and legislate the Council's statutory duties - against which elected local councillors are powerless.

 

The argument that if you don't speed then you don't pay has been proven fallacious time and time again.

pat, I think its obvious what green_and_mean is trying to say ...

 

Most people at sometime have exceeded the speed limit or parked on a double yellow for a couple of mins just to nip into the postoffice or similar .. most of the time you get away with it.

Sometimes you are caught out and get a ticket .. and when you're caught .. its a fair cop .. you took a chance and this time got caught.

 

Then to try and get out of it by using sites like this for any possible loophole/incorrect wording on the ticket/ the box not ticked correctly is just wrong ...

 

Now I am sometimes wrong .. but if thats not what green_and_mean was trying to say then I apologise .. if it is, then I hope my additional explination has assisted you.

But surely by the same logic, if they take a chance with the incorrect wording in defiance of the law, then they are taking a chance and should accept it when they get caught?

If a person drinks 15vodkas, drives down a road, kills a young family - gets arrested, admits it to the policeman in car, takes breathalyser over the limit - obvious hes done it .. goes to court and they say the arrest was not done correctly as he had not been given his rights (or similar) and the case is thrown out as anything that happened after the arrest was unlawful.

This is a technicality and cases get thrown out of court on a daily basis, even though the defendant did it ... but a box not ticked on a piece of paper or something spelt wrong making all the difference .. is this right ...

 

I know a parking ticket vs the above are worlds apart ... but if you knowingly take the chance and get caught then morally (not legally) is it right to try and use loopholes to avoid a 'fair cop' ticket ???

 

Peoples opinion differ in relation to their moral standing, and so is their thinking about trying to wriggle out of things ... mine is "I think its wrong" - yours seems to be "its ok" ... Thankfully for society as a whole most people accept if they have been fairly caught .. I am not talking about [causing problems] people, hiding signs etc.. as I have always agreed this is wrong .. but a 'fair cop' if you take the chance and get caught ...

Well now you're moving the goalposts... you're trying to base the penalty on the harm done and the moral wrong committed, which I agree is a much better system.

 

So in the case of a family killed by a dangerous driver, clearly the harm done and moral wrong are large.

 

In the case of a yellow line placed in a safe parking place purely to raise revenue, the harm done is zero, hence why it causes so much outrage. I know of nobody who objects to the targeting of drink drivers for enforcement.

Morally, no. Legally, yes. Unfortunately perhaps, the court system relies on law and not morals or emotion. In your example above we pay the Police to act professionally on our behalf in such matters and this includes acting within the law in all their procedures. The fault for your exemplar drink driver escaping 'justice' is the fault of the enforcers of the law. Otherwise, why have these procedures, if they are capable of being ignored with impunity?

 

Let me turn this round slightly. Why does the law require the Police to obtain a search warrant from a magistrate to perform a search (and for the pedants, I know there are other grounds for a lawful search). If the Police just searched as and when they liked, with no chance of the 'evidence' being rejected by the court as resulting from an illegal search, why bother with obtaining a warrant?

 

Is there not a moral (as well as legal) imperative that those who would seek to uphold or enforce the law should themselves act within the law.

 

I know a parking ticket vs the above are worlds apart ... but if you knowingly take the chance and get caught then morally (not legally) is it right to try and use loopholes to avoid a 'fair cop' ticket ???
Surely it can only be a 'fair cop' ticket if it is lawfully executed? Otherwise, it's just a piece of paper. Would you expect someone to pay a Council parking penalty merely because the Council wrote them a letter saying that they want them to? When there are procedures to be followed in law for such an occasion?
