The circumstances almost exactly mirror those that applied in the case of Vine -v- London Borough of Waltham Forest [2000] EWCA Civ 106. (link to judgment) It happens to be that this case is a PPC favourite - which they always brazenly misquote.
On this occasion it could be used in context and appropriately. Mrs Vine was suddenly taken ill at the wheel and pulled over to be sick. During the short period she was out of the car it was [thoughfully] clamped by the local authority. The Court of Appeal decided that she had not seen the signs and consequently could not have taken in what they said. Appeal upheld LB Waltham Forest ordered to refund the clamping fees.
Tell Park Watch to stick that in their pipe and smoke it.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.com0
