CPS statement

Options
http://www.combinedparkingsolutions.com/legal-issues/


Cases heard by higher courts in England are persuasive in Scotland but not binding on a Sheriff Court, Cases heard by the House of Lords are only binding if the case involved a Scottish legal issue.
The legal reference for a Scottish case is University of Edinburgh -v- Daniel Onifade [2005 S.L.T (Sh Ct) 63], heard before Sheriff Principal Iain Macphail QC – and the full legal text can be found at http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/opinions/sc514.html
This case found parking charges issued to be lawful and upheld the charges imposed.
Combined Parking often takes cases to court in scotland Click here for recent case detail.
and here is a copy of the decree.
For the avoidance of doubt and to negate question 2 as raised in the appeal, our signge only states “Parking Charge” and therefore the question of misrepresentation is not relevant.


gosh they really worry me


PS that is a copy/paste all speeling mistook are there's

    This outfit does run a really good coffee shop though. I should do a Tripadvisor review at some point.

    for one moment I thought this was a statement form the Crown Prosecution Service
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    Good idea. I could put up a sign on my table with contractual terms. By serving me you agree to the following.....

    I'm partial to Perkys coffee and walnut cake. That and a latte.

    Perky has banged on about this case for several years.

    The findings of the court related solely to the matters at hand and they made no wider findings - not that they could. The truth is that Mr Onifade never disputed the fact that he owed the University money. He did, however, dispute the amounts.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Which is the equivalent of a County Court appeal in this country, so no more persuasive than the original Beavis ruling.

    The Appeal Court judgments in McCafferty and Anderson are persuasive to the Scottish Summary Cause court.

    IANAL - yet.
