District Enforcement - Court

Marktheshark

When you get back, make a list of all paper work they have sent sorted in to "who from" piles so we can ask questions on certain bits

Lots of interesting stuff here

System

DE use the "contractual charge" model. Their signs invite you to obstruct as long as pay £100.

The paying to "obstruct" is a nonsense and point out to the court it was not a genuine offer but one that was intended as a penalty.

Also point out that you believe there is no contract between the landowners and for DE to allow/offer obstructive parking - its Uni land - so DE are not in a position to offer that bargain to anyone.

Hi I'm home.......the following is the information I have:

I don't have the original parking notice.

Notice of Impending Court Action - location given on here as Staffs Uni Estates, Beaconside Stafford ST18 0AD - this is where I think they are trying to state it covers the whole of the Uni site - its states the time and the date but does not show the exact location.

Letter Before Claim from Gladstones Solicitors - this one does show location as Staffs Uni Beaconside Blackheath Lane - this is possibly down to me highlighting the issue. I r esponded to this asking various questions asking for a breakdown of loss etc also asked for a copy of the contract with the uni - due to Christmas mail by the time they received this they had already issued court proceedings and never responded.

Claim Forms for Northampton County Court - As stated I admitted partial liability and offered £100

This was rejected and they would not mediate, I did contact Gladstones and asked them to speak to their client again I stressed I was a student nurse and again stated I was willing to offer £100 they said they would speak to DE but never came back to me

Notice of Transfer Proceedings

I also have from the Solicitors the Particulars of Claim completed by DE

And finally the notice I have to complete by next week!!

The paying to "obstruct" is a nonsense and point out to the court it was not a genuine offer but one that was intended as a penalty.

Which pretty much sums things up, would it be acceptable for a rich ( and stupid ) person to cause a major obstruction as long as they pay the £100

now I read somewhere that even tho clamping had been outlawed it was still legal to move a vehicle that was parked on private land that was causing an obstruction , "if" the vehicle was indeed causing an "obstruction" why did they not mitigate there loses , and remove the obstruction by simply relocating the vehicle?

why did they not mitigate there loses , and remove the obstruction by simply relocating the vehicle?

maybe because they have invited the driver to cause an obstruction in return for paying the stated fee

catch 22 then , but I thought the agreement with the UNI or wherever was to assist in the free running of the carpark , not to invite people to cause havoc and block other users from using it, by inviting people to cause havoc , they are reducing the income to the UNI ?


might be interesting to read there contract

Which pretty much highlights the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
therefore it cant be a genuine contractual agreement, but intended as penalty/ punishment.
plus without looking into it further could you pay £100 to block the entrance/cause an obstruction once and forever more?

enfield_freddy

agreed , however there contract with the UNI might prove that they are not authorised by them to take this action , thus nullifying there contract .
