    Standard fare for an IPC member. You can't agree to a contract to do something that is forbidden (Permit Holders Only). You are a trespasser and only the landowner could sue for trespass (for actual damage caused) and you'd need to be a bit of a crap driver to cause £100 worth of chaos.

    There seems to be a number of similar signs dotted about the car park so would likely be deemed 'sufficient' by the IAS.

    Check if the IPC Code of Practice dictates minimum size of notices - they certainly look a bit on the 'small' side.

    You could argue the above in an IAS appeal, but chances of success remain (in my view) very slim. See if anyone else wants to comment.
    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.

  • Really appreciate it, Umkomaas.

    They don´t specify the size of the signance but it is not possible to consider visible a signal fixed to the Pub display and facing the road. There is no other one on that front and nothing in the entrance of the place.
    Interesting point about trespassing. I contacted the landowner which says it´s UKCPS who monitors the area and are entitled to fine people.

    "I contacted the landowner which says it´s UKCPS who monitors the area and are entitled to fine people."

    contact them again and ask for a 'named person' who will / may be called to give evidence if / when this gets to court ........ and ask have they any holiday dates for avoidance os such .....

    this is unlikely to happen but may will catch there attention ;)

  • I emailed the landowners Lincoln Co Op and they ignored this point of trespassing and said it's their policy not to intervene when the ticket has been issued according to what is said in the signals. Do you think this is true and it has been issued in the right way?
    Thanks

    who did you speak to at the coop ?

    have you tried head office ?

    did you ask the person the question I detailed above?

    " it's their policy not to intervene when the ticket has been issued according to what is said in the signals.Do you think this is true and it has been issued in the right way?
    Thanks"

    I am not sure what you are asking is true ?

    A land owner can have whatever policy they want ....only a court will say if it is legal

    as for the issued in the right way ....... you still do not seam to grasp that there is NO regulation in the murky world of 'parking on private land'

    in all most all cases of 'ticketing by members of the IPC / IAS are flawed ....

    good luck
