The signage all appears to comply,


entrance signage seems ok (I will try and upload a pic altho angle is not great). Signs all over the car park (although not along the row I parked on? But many many (albeit small) signs around the car park).


The signage all appears to comply,


does it?

If his signs comply I am going outside as there must be a star in the east and three wise men on camels coming up my drive. You are dealing with a one man band and his partner, sometimes he has an employee. Has a police caution for VAT fraud, fine upstanding member of the community, not forgetting how many times he has changed his name and the firms.

I am not sure that any signage by any private parking company in the whole of the UK complies with any BPA or IPC CoP

how NPE managed it beggars belief

Cool. Out of interest though- how did Beavis lose? Was the signage compliant?? Or can signage be non-compliant and the parking company still win?

The entire Supreme Court case is here. You can watch the full proceedings - all the legal argument from both sides, the questioning by the Law Lords and the responses. You can also watch delivery of the final judgment.

Grimble, from the npe site:

NPE Wins Multiple Court Cases
Over the last two or three years Private Parking Companies have had a lot of interest from certain internet websites who recommend that drivers ignore Parking Charge Notices.

This misinformation is now causing a number of these drivers’ further costs in the County Courts. NPE has, in 75% of recent court cases, been successful against drivers who choose to take legal advice from internet bloggers, and we have recently teamed up with a firm of Solicitors who specialise in recovering unpaid Parking Charge Notices.

We have noticed an increasing amount of generic responses from drivers who simply copy and paste a standard appeal from an online source. Our solicitors, however, are now providing responses which are proving to negate these attempts to have a Parking Charge Notice cancelled. Our success rate is down to the diligent way we record every detail of each PCN ever issued, and this enables us to supply the courts with an impressive amount of information, proving without question that our PCNs were issued correctly, and in line with the Terms and Conditions on the warning signage in the area where the ticket was issued.

We would also like to make drivers aware that we can take legal action against them up to a period of 6 years after the date of the original PCN issue. Unfortunately many drivers who ignored the first ticket they were issued (thinking it would go away) have subsequently been issued with a second ticket, which only strengthens the case for our Solicitors.

So... They do take drivers to court??

Of course they'd say that on their website. Are you really surprised that they'd lie? The reality is somewhat different.

Coupon-mad

NPE are not known for court, as the hyperlink from bod1467 shows, the BMPA has no records of them doing this. NPE are a firm that phoenixed from another one using the same initials, a bunch of ex-clampers who Norwich Councillors sussed ages ago:

There are people in life who tell lies and even if they said that the sky was blue I would still have to check for myself. NPE are one such case.

If they came to Scotland and said the sky was blue, we'd know without even looking that they were probably lying.
