Legal Aspects
THE LAW OF TRESPASS:
The law relating to parking on private land without permission from the legal occupier comes under the laws of trespass. Anyone who enters and parks on privately owned land without the permission of the legal occupier will be trespassing on that given piece of land for the duration they are there. If the claimant can prove the trespass he is entitled to recover nominal damages, even if he has not suffered any actual loss or damage. If the trespass has caused the claimant actual loss or damage he is entitled to receive an amount which will compensate for that loss. If a claimant can prove that a trespasser has entered and made use of the claimants land without permission, the claimant is lawfully entitled to receive a reasonable level of compensation in the form of damages for that use. A claim can also be made where there is a breach of parking regulations which are clearly stated on warning notices.
CONTRACTUAL LAW:
By parking and thus ignoring the warning signs the offending motorist has entered into a contractual agreement to pay a parking charge. We operate our collection procedures under the Administration of justice act 1970.
DVLA CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PRIVATE PARKING ENFORCMENT:
The company adheres to the DVLA’s code of conduct to ensure lawful ethical and fair business practice when obtaining the offending vehicles keeper’s registration details for the purpose of enforcing parking charge which remain un-paid.
DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998:
After we have obtained the registered keepers details from the DVLA we will not disclose this information just as we will not disclose the site holder’s details to offenders.
APPEAL PROCEDURE
We are unable to respond to appeals/complaints by telephone. If your vehicle has been towed away, wheel clamped or issued with a PCN (Parking Charge Notice), this will usually be because it was parked in breach of parking regulations that were clearly displayed in prominent locations on the warning notices. However, if you feel you have grounds for appeal or wish to make a complaint, please do so by writing to the address below.
