When you get the Order could you PM me. There may be something there to help others. Sad day though

That's my point, it's not a contract. If I've understood you correctly its for parking your car in someone else's space.

That's trespass. They have a whole other series of hoops to jump through for that.

Contract and 'the law's the law' is a bit of a misnomer too. It depends on if the contract was properly formed, worded, remedy for breaching it, whether it took precedence over your tenancy agreement (it probably wouldn't), and much much more.

I agree. They cannot claim for losses themselves under a notional contract for parking in someone else's space. That would be ridiculous.

Me thinks that the judge has read about Beavis in the press ....

Ok I think the question was 'is there a valid permit'. The car park was managed by UKPC ( no idea why as no one would want to park there if you weren't a resident - nothing nearby and gated).

Now there was…it was valid for space 53. Someone consistently parked in my space. It was a large car park and it was an awkward space to access. The individual insisted he had a right to park there. Now as long as I can park I don't care so I took up another space. I spoke to a representative of UKPC who came round with a clip board one day to assess the car park. He said he could see my issue and said as long as it wasn't causing trouble to park there. I then marked my permit with 91 as opposed to 53. Obviously one of the guys working there didn't get the memo so gave me a ticket on 5 occasions. However the judge said that altered or not the permit was not valid for that space. My opinion is that this is crazy. That means if someone occupies your space, you park elsewhere as you can't find the perpetrator then you get fined!! CRAZY

perhaps the parked car (in your space) belonged to the UKPC person?




you have not said yet , but was the illegally parked car in your space given tickets ?

First off, you need to fill in the forms to appeal the case.

Then, get a copy of the lease. Does it mention the need to obtain and display a permit ?. No, then you defense will be the good old 'lease trumps parking company' argument in that there is no legal requirement in the lease to display a permit.

Had you come here for advice when you fisrt got these tickets, you would now not have the hassle of having to appeal this decision in Court.

Does anyone have details of a solicitor so I can seek legal advice on this please?

You say you parked in someone's bay, then who is parked at your bay ?

Double_V

To be honest you are not very clear in the description.
You are giving out information in pieces.

I had same issue, I parked in other bay as well.
Appealed and won through POPLA.
Never ever alter your permits, they will no longer be valid then.

Anyway good luck.

Does anybody know any sites where UKPC operate a permit scheme for residents? I am aware of one, the Smith's Flour Mill in Walsall, but I need to find others and they are not very forthcoming in their responses. Any help would be much appreciated
