Maybe some of them was following the advice here that private parking companies issues parking charges was not enforceable. Seems that it is.
No regular contributor ever gives that advice. Plenty of misinformed posters question the enforceability of private parking charges. They are always given the correct information.
Maybe you need to do a bit of reading before posting drivel, no doubt designed to attempt to undermine the credibility of this forum.
Big FAIL, I'm afraid.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 have a permit to park where I work but we have a rota due to the car park not being big enough so park elsewhere when I can't get a space.I wonder what you would do if you were issued a permit and be one of 10,000 permits when there were only 1000 spaces available.
Would you not consider this as fraudulent ?
We also share the car park with another company but I don't use their empty spaces due to parking invoices being issued if we park there.
The staff are quite aware that if their allocated spaces are full they need to park elsewhere or pay or they will receive an invoice, that's their choice.
The problem is they have ignored all the invoices rather than challenge them and let them build up as they have been given poor information or just ignored the notices in order to possibly make a point.
I hate these companies with a vengeance but don't ignore what they are doing0 -
Unison were approached right at the start of all this.
They were as much use as a fart in a trance.

Unison were approached right at the start of all this.
There was a 2015 Phase which Unison managed to kill so that any ticket prior to April 2016 was "apparently" cancelled. Don't know what happened to those but the transcript will show it.
And for any of you that haven't been to that site, it is a nightmare with cars abandoned in front of A&E spaces and ambulances being blocked.
As usual there are no winners in this one save for the solicitors as UHW have got to work out how they will crew up shifts if staff cannot come there for fear of being targeted by Indigo.
Indigo's 20 year contract runs out next year.0 -
Why oh why did they think they would win this.
Because, imo, they should have,
The judge made so many questionable decisions, and appears not to have understood that this is a scam. I have no doubt that, in the long run, the golden thread of British Justice will prevail.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
The real tragedy here, as I understand it, is that there are insufficient places for staff to park when any shift is in and the nearest car parking is 45 minutes away.
Now you don't need to be a genius to see that if staff can't get into work, operations get cancelled and patients suffer. If no additional space is in the area, then a reallocation of space giving staff more space and visitors less is sensible.
But sooner or later the staff may very well be forced to take industrial action.
One question - do administrative senior managers have guaranteed parking??????????????0 -
I'm note sure this is as bad as they are saying. The "huge costs" was because the judge took exception to some form of behaviour.
Going forward the behavior won't be there so the "huge costs" will be gone and it will be down to £20 per ticket.
Have a feeling the judge was smarter than people give credit here.0 -

Actually years ago we used to say just that - ignore it. But then the BPA chewed the governments butt about it and the government amended the law with the ironically named "Bill of freedoms" which actually took away a few freedoms instead. That was the turning point for the whole thing and this country has carried on being fed to the dogs ever since.
There were massive arguments on here at the time with some users saying to carry on ignoring while others could see what was going on with the government getting in on it.
It's a shame these nurses have been hit like this just for trying to do the public a service. There is a gofundme page for them. Lesson for the hospital trust is that if you want to retain your staff you don't go kicking them in the teeth and then turning the screw.0 -
Note the present tense 'gives', not 'gave'.
People rely on snippets from years ago, especially if it gives them comfort, with no checking of the current position. Pub experts are great proponents.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.
