Certainly, Coupon-Mad I am unable to post pictures so have copy and pasted :-
Wright Hassall Reference POPLA
Appeal Outcome Allowed
We have been appointed by the British Parking Association (“BPA”) to act as an independent appeals body,
under the brand of Parking on Private Land Appeals (“POPLA”), in respect of the Appeal and to consider
both the Appellants and the Car Park Operator’s positions before providing a decision to the parties. We are
not instructed to act on behalf of either party.
We confirm that we have considered the appeal, taking into account all of the evidence at hand and applying
the prevailing legislation and with reference to the BPA Code of Practice, and have decided to allow the
appeal on this occasion. This means that the Appellant does not need to make payment to the Car Park
Operator and the Parking Charge Notice (“PCN”) must be cancelled.
Reasons for allowing the Appeal
• Paragraph 13 of the BPA Code of Practice requires that a reasonable grace period should be given
to allow motorists to enter the car park and decide whether to stay or go, and also to leave the car
park. Upon reviewing the evidence received from both parties, it appears that the Appellant has not
been given a sufficient grace period in which to depart from the car park. Accordingly the Appeal is
allowed.
To the Appellant
As the Appeal has been allowed, you do not need to make payment of the PCN. The Car Park Operator must
cancel the charge and cease all collection activity in relation to this PCN.
To the Car Park Operator
As the Appeal has been allowed, you must now cancel the PCN and cease all collection activity in relation to
this PCN.
This is the final decision in this Appeal. We are not able to respond to any future correspondence from either
party, nor are we able to provide any information to either party over the telephone.

Wow - and it was (from your first post) an ANPR capture of a 15min overstay at the car park. Was that 5 mins before paying and ten after, out of interest?
