  • Psidoc not quite right in post 80

    Suggest you read Occupiers Liability Acts 1957 and 1984, whilst you may not need insurance it doesn't mean you are not liable for visitors to your property invited or not. Parts of The Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000 also has bearing on these responsibilties.

    BTW 'at own risk' signs are not worth the paper they are printed on.

    do the public have access to the residents car park?
    Having access to something is completely different from having permission to use it. I could well use the car park to turn my car, but it's still private and I still need insurance on it.
    Unless there's a big gate that gets locked and access is completely restricted to residents because of said gate, then it's public.
    The public has access to my garden because there's not big lockable gate across the front of my lawn....someone can walk off the pavement and onto my lawn but it's still private land.

    You fail go to grasp the definition of "public" as used in the RTA 1988.

    "Public" is defined as "any other road to which the public has access," eg Sainsbury's car park - privately owned but very public.


    The car park analogy suits your argument but for one little flaw. The public are generally expected to have use of Sainsburys' car park, that is why it is subject to the RTA.

    Regardless of whether the public can gain access without jumping a fence or gate or breaking a lock, if the land they are on is private and they have no right to be there then it is not subject to the same laws as Sainsbury's car park.

    This whole gate thing is baloney. It matters not a jot. There is plenty of land in this country that is fenced and gated that has a public right of way running through it.
