Once you have paid that £100 can you park there for ever?

Depends what the signage sez stupid! And given the, uh, creative approach to the English language adopted by most knuckle-scraping ex-doorman IPC members we can doubtless continue to enjoy an endless variety of bizarre, illogical and totally meaningless gobbledegook!

In most cases it would appear so, it could also be a cheap method of holiday airport parking, park in a supermarket / retail park, with the option of blocking the entrance/fire exits or anything else - leave a note on your car window stating that you have parked in that position as per the terms and conditions on the signage and will be back in a fortnight, happy to pay the fee of £60/70/ with early discount /whatever

I think if you look on some of the more recent IPC signs there's a 'per 24 hours' clause in there somewhere.

At most airports (perhaps Liverpool?) you could probably park on the road and not only save a fortune over the official car parking but also be much closer to the terminal!

I think I would want to be honest and upfront about it though so best send VCS (or whoever) a cheque for £100 before parking.

Letting the airport/VCS know youve parked as per the Ts&Cs would be good manners, and it would also serve as a notification that the vehicle want abandoned or any sort of security threat.
It would also be worth notifying the police to be extra safe

Or you could borrow a friend's car and park there for nothing (as long as they don't find out you were the driver).

No keeper liability = no charge:)

Such arguments should have no place in the SC's decision. They are not there to support an industry. They are there to clarify the law.

Perhaps - but I suspect it will still be in the back of their minds.

Regarding the banning of clamping - yes it was banned but it wasn't overnight - there was months of notice.

Perhaps if the SC decide it was a penalty they might enlighten us on what would not be a penalty and how that might be calculated.

Unfortunately due to work reasons I only had a short time to watch the SC this afternoon but the last QC mentioned two words and I wrote those down. Properly Understood when referring to how a contract is read by the parties.
