I agree. For a POPLA appeal you can drop point 7. (It doesn't hurt to leave it in, just that the assessor will ignore it and will allow your appeal on 2 or 5 depending on their mood).

Except it gives the PPC another hoop to jump through, and some extra legwork to do in providing an answer to the point raised.

They don't mind putting a motorist through many greater hoops in order to fight an unfair parking charge which has been shoved in their face, so a taste of a bit of their own medicine perhaps.

The more they have to do to deal with a POPLA appeal, the greater the possibility of them withdrawing a charge?

I received an email from POPLA today stating that my appeal will be dealt with on or soon after 30 January , I'll report back sometime around then .

As of today the 6th Feb, I have not heard anything from POPLA regarding my appeal, I did however receive a Final Notice letter from G24 last Friday the 1st.
The evidence pack came through mid January from G24.
Should I be concerned that nothing has appeared yet ?

I would email POPLA and ask for the decision. Let us know. I'm hoping you didn't just post it to POPLA fairly loosely folded in an envelope without securing the second/third printed page and ensuring the POPLA number was on all printed pages. If POPLA only saw point 1 then you may not have won (that happened to someone whose page 2 wasn't securely stapled and was lost). If you submitted all the wording online and it fitted into the appeal box then no worries.

I did fill the form in online and received an acknowledgement from them, so I will mail them on Monday for a response. I will report back once I have an answer.

I mailed POPLA as Coupon-mad suggested and received a reply that said my case hadn't yet been heard but would be chased up.


The decision on my appeal came through today and I'm pleased to say that it has been allowed .


On 2 November 2013 at Medway Street, Kent, the appellant was issued with a


parking charge notice for breaching the terms and conditions of the parking


site.


It is the operator’s case that the appellant overstayed the maximum stay of


90 minutes at the parking site. There is photographic evidence to support that


there was adequate signage at the site to inform motorists of the parking


terms and conditions. There is also evidence from the operator’s automatic


number plate recognition system which shows the appellant’s vehicle,


registration number ######, enter the site at 18:40 and exit at 20:23, a total


stay of 103 minutes.


The appellant has made a number of submissions, however, I will only


elaborate on the one submission that I am allowing this appeal on, namely


that the parking charge amount is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.


The burden is on the operator to prove that the parking charge is a genuine


pre-estimate of loss. However, the operator has failed to establish a genuine


pre-estimate of loss. Therefore I am not satisfied that the operator has


discharged the burden.


Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.




Farah Ahmad






Assessor


A big thanks to Coupon-mad and the other forum members who guided me right direction regarding my appeal, brilliant job and keep up the good work

Farah now understands GPEoL?

Well done to Brit 27 - it is as pity that Farah did not understand breach of contract when disguised as a contractual charge in other cases - as a consequence court papers were immediately served on other people.
