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

Northlakes

At least one member of the judiciary in my part of the world appears to have some common sense!

This thread has been running for over 24 hours now, and nobody has yet pointed out the blatant porkie in Kirks' submission, at para. 5:


"Parking bays can be effectively reserved for disabled consumers that genuinely need to park their cars close to the shops they are visiting."

So how can the ANPR only business model operated by Parking Eye "reserve" disabled bays?

Well so long as John de Waal points it out!

hoohoo

And of course the lie that POFA 2012 is an indication of the government's desire to allow arbitrary parking charges; the POFA guidelines explicitly state only charges which are a genuine pre-estimate
of loss should be allowed.

...and the lie that an independent appeals service is a requirement of POFA. Nowhere in POFA does it state this; all it states is that if a independent appeals service is a vailable it should be documented.

Today The Prankster blogged that the Independent Parking Committee have removed the right to an independent appeals service to vehicle keepers. http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/independent-parking-committee-remove.html

Is there a bookmaker who runs a legal judgement book or is it even legal to do so?

My view is that the CofA got both the cases completely wrong for quite different reasons.

Not quite. Beavis being referred to already in the Cavendish case! Some very relevant background/exploratory discussion going on.

Indeed. Lengthy, but interesting.
