The fact of the matter is that, with PE issuing around a third of all private parking tickets, they are never going to suffer any serious sanctions from the BPA, or the DVLA.


A 'senior source' at the DVLA is reported as saying that, short of breaking into Buckingham Palace and murdering the Queen's corgis, PE will not get their access to keeper data blocked.

I love how PoPLA uses the term "adjournment", like they are a proper court!

Apologies for bumping this thread but was wondering if this could be used by people in receipt of invoices from PE and who request for their appeal to be stayed pending the outcome of the decision from the Supreme Court.

Surely what is good for one is good for another and the BPA certainly didn't mind this happening when the boot was on the other foot.

It could be argued that how can a defence be submitted when the legislation is in such a state of flux and PE could hardly argue when they set the precedence :rotfl:

the way I understand it , you or they can only ask for a "hold" once a case is allocated and a date set .


this was my first thoughts , and I asked and received a reply on pepipoo , stating more or less the above from someone in the "know"

I do not see a problem. If PE want to quote Beavis, appellants can quote SC. Popla is only binding on PE anyway, and most of those case have been where their paper has been ignored.

Whether they can show that the charge is commercially justified to a judge or not, they still have to comply with all the other aspects of the event which have to be considered, i.e. timeliness, signage, locus, GPEOL where commercial justication does not apply, and the fact that judges can and do allow mitigation.

Beavis is far from being the final whistle.

And not forgetting the Equality Act which is strange with their car park management systems they can not pick up on!!!
