    Something just happened, but missed it.
    Seems the bench threw a curve ball and they've just called a short adjournment?

    Oh dear, here we go again. We've been watching the whole case since 10.15 this morning!

    No sh*t Sherlock!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Are the MSE team trying to jump on the bandwagon here or are they just hijacking this thread?

    But it doesn't deter non customers from parking there for 2 hours or less!

    Perhaps, but fundamentally many land owners and customers would argue that without PPCs it would be a lot harder to go down to certain shops - that is the case in my town centre anyway.

    ---

    I think the last question asked about cars taking up multiple spaces was with a general consideration of PPCs in general. The SC is likely to provide a flexible judgement to apply to all penalty clauses for all PPC not just thsoe that use ANPR like PE.

    His point also was that just because you are slightly out of the white lien doesnt mean it is fair to hit you with an £85 fine.

    I'll say it again then, the landowners should be the ones funding the parking controls, not the genuine customers/mistaken recipients of tickets.
