POPLA Decisions

slud

Thanks to the advice on the forum, I won my case against UKPC:

The Appellant appealed against liability for the parking charge.
The Assessor has considered the evidence of both parties and has
determined that the appeal be allowed.
The Assessor’s reasons are as set out.
The Operator should now cancel the parking charge notice forthwith.

Reasons for the Assessor’s Determination
It is the Appellant’s case that the parking charge notice was issued
incorrectly.
The Operator has not produced a copy of the parking charge notice, nor any evidence to show a breach of the conditions of parking occurred, nor any evidence that shows what the conditions of parking, in fact, were.
Accordingly I have no option but to allow the appeal.

POPLA have just told me that I won my appeal against Met Parking (at Gatwick McDonalds) ..... On Feb 14th!

I guess they've been busy.

In my case I've had to continually chase POPLA for the decision.


They only told me today about my winning verdict from 5 weeks ago

One of my neighbours appealed to POPLA purely on lack of grace period. I sent them a "full" appeal to add to what they had already submitted, but I don't think they were able to send this to POPLA in time. Despite this, they have just posted on our local forum that they won, purely on lack of grace period given.

The first and last photo taken by PCM had a time difference of just two minutes. PCM apparently maintained that they had allowed 5 minutes but had nothing to back this up, so appeal allowed!

I haven't been able to obtain a copy of the actual ruling.

Won on the fact the operator supplied no copy of a landowner contract.

Thanks to all on this forum today i won my POPLA appeal.

I received Kernow parking's evedence pack in the post last week and was a little worried as they said they only employ people if they have to chase up non payers ( letters to dvla ect, cost of hiring staff )
Then this morning received an email from POPLA allowing my appeal.
*******************************************
The appellant has made various representations; I have not dealt with them all as I am allowing this appeal on the following ground.
It is the appellant’s case that the amount of the parking charge does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
The operator’s case is that they consider the amount on the parking charge notice to be a reasonable charge for liquidated damages. The operator submits that they have calculated the amount to be a genuine pre- estimate of loss. The operator has further provided a list of losses they have incurred as a result of the appellant’s breach.
Considering carefully, all the evidence before me, I find that the operator has sought to justify the charge by providing a list of the losses they have incurred, however while the individual items listed may amount to a genuine pre estimate of loss, the operator has failed to provide an estimate of the amount lost under each of the specific items referred to in the breakdown. On a balance of probabilities, I am therefore not satisfied that the operator has sufficiently shown that the charge is a genuine pre estimate of the loss incurred as a result of the breach. As a result, I need not decide any other issues raised by the appellant.
Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.

cts_casemod (on this thread) appealed the issue of a PCN by Ticketing Service Solutions Ltd and the appeal was upheld at POPLA because, it seems, TSS Ltd bottled it.
