What would happen?

They might try and affix a speculative invoice to the car, they might run around the car singing Peace to the world. Both instances have about the same legal ramifications.

And to add, as others have said, refusing a person with a disabilty under the Equalities Act from using the space would see Tesco in breach of the law. The blue badge has no bearing or meaning in a private car park.

Advice from Citizens Advice
Parking on private land

If you park on private land, such as a supermarket car park or a privately owned multi-story car park, you will have entered into a contract with the landowner. If there are signs displayed in the car park setting out rules for using the car park, then these are the terms of the contract. If any of these rules are broken, then the car park owner can take steps to enforce them. There is often a parking operating company managing the car park for the owner or landlord.
NHS boards are responsible for the management of NHS car parking facilities. There may be a private car park operator managing the car parking facilities on behalf of the NHS board.
If you park on private land without permission from the owner, or breach any conditions imposed by the owner, then the owner or someone authorised by them, may give you a parking ticket. This might look like an official fixed penalty but it isn't one. It's a notice that the owner of the car park or the private car park operator intends to take you to a civil court, and will offer to let you pay the fine to settle the case out of court. This is a civil matter, not a criminal one.
Landowners and car park operators do not need licences to issue parking tickets. It is an unregulated business although many car park operators are members of the British Parking Association

No, but it is OK to object to someone who does not have a blue badge and uses a disabled space.

You are not reading the posts properly at all, merely looking for any feeble opportunity to attempt to be contentious (incredible for someone so new to the forum!)

Is there a probationary period on MSE forums before one is entitled to express an opinion?

Practically all the threads I have read on here about parking in disabled spaces have posters almost apoplectic with rage if members of the general public ask for proof of entitlement i.e. asking to see current BB.

An opinion is one thing, deliberately misinterpreting someone's comments is completely different.

Nowhere have I said that I questioned the person involved, that was an over-active imagination on that poster's part. She deliberately nicked a space I was reversing into. Bottom line, she did not have a badge on display. It is a reasonable assumption to make that it is because she did not have a blue badge to display. That is my assumption based on her attitude and behaviour.

We all know that the system is open to abuse and I am sure a lot of people have seen it happen.

Well, at least we know you know how to copy and paste .

I suggest you go to your nearest Tesco supermarket which is on private land and park in one of their disabled spaces without displaying a blue badge and see what happens.

You still haven't answered what you think will happen. Please enlighten us.

I've already mentioned you might get a speculative invoice, perhaps you will disprove this with your next post.

Doesn't sound like it as she didn't display a blue badge and she and her kids RAN into the doctor's!:(

Ooh. I have been told on here not to judge when someone can run and has a blue badge, she may have a mental illness like depression, agoraphobia, panic attacks, anxiety, low esteem. Or other issues like being too fat to walk too far and need one of those motor scooters ;-) . Remember, you don't need to be physically disabled to need a blue badge that is used to park near to things, mere mortals with the super power of working legs need them too :rotfl:

As for having a Blue Badge and Range Rover, so what, I have both. My docs told me I would never work again, but I pulled my bootstraps up despite not being able to get out of bed some days! But it pays for it

I suggest you stop speaking out of your backside!

I happen to be one of those awkwardly disabled people who fall between the stools when it comes to qualifying for a badge - So I do use private disabled spaces quite regularly and I follow the EHRC advice and inform the store on entry.

I have not been ticketed yet - Which suggests that whatever the signs/PPC contracts say, the stores/PPCs do know exactly where they stand here!

Now please, your apology for perpetuating criminal discrimination and trying to mislead?

Citizens Advice have repeatedly been found incompetent when it comes to private parking matters. Stop trying to pull a fast-one!

Pogfish, looker, there's only one way to find out who's best (Harry Hill chant)

FBaby

So on one hand, you are making the assumption that she couldn't possibly be disabled because she didn't have the BB with her, she ran into the clinic, and you read behind her words that she clearly wasn't disabled.

On the other hand, it didn't cross your mind that you could have parked behind her, helped your BIL out of the car into the clinic and then gone and parked somewhere else since YOU don't have an issue with mobility.

Sounds to me like selective pointing of the finger!

Sounds like the op should leave earlier and /or become a parking attendendant. I suspect this wss kosher.
