ParkingEye v Beavis at the Supreme Court: What’s Happening This Week

What happened? (In an open office now so can't keep watching!)
He's waffling on a bit and flip flopping through documents, made a claim and seemed to immediately realise he shouldn't have done. Their Lordships were straight on it.
Didn't seem to have a response and in effect took a backward step.
Now trying to 'big up' the BPA code of practice.
Lord Neuberger (?) wasn't falling for it. Piped in and stated it is advisory, not compulsory etc.0 -
So plenty. You evidently haven't been paying attention. The carmageddon scenario (which Kirk will major on) and the social justification that the CoA invented go completely out of the window if it's just a money-making scheme and not a space-maximisation scheme.
I dont see how you can argue it is not a space maximisation scheme when quite clearly PPC do deter people from parking too long.
The fact that PPC may may a fortune from it is here not there - the issue of course is whether it is done within constraints of the law.
The argument that it is purely profit making with no space maximisation is incorrect IMO.0 -
BTW does anyone who the guy is sat next to Kirk in the red tie? He looks liek he is on Kirks side but doesnt look too happy.0

But it doesn't deter non customers from parking there for 2 hours or less!0 -
Certainly looks like he wants to reach up and give him a slap.. though he is nodding now.
Struggling to decide how the Lordships are leaning, they are not prodding him as much as they did De Waal. Though at the same time, they are turning his arguments quite easily.0 -
No way can PE determine anyone taking up two spaces via ANPR. Kirk is not telling the truth!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
