POPLA adjournment of all Byelaws cases

We've just received an e-mail from POPLA as follows:
"POPLA has decided to adjourn all cases on which the parking operator has asked the motorist to make a payment in respect of alleged breach of Byelaws. This is following complaints to POPLA and ISPA that POPLA has no authority to look at these appeals. We are considering our position and will contact you again in due course.
Your case concerns Byelaws and is affected by the adjournment. During this time, you do not need to take any further action.
We do not anticipate the cases to be adjourned for more than two months from today. Parking operators should not pursue payment while the cases are adjourned".
It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

I'd suspect that POPLA will just refuse to hear any Byelaws appeals in the future.Edna_Basher wrote: »

I wonder if any of the PPC have been complaining since at the minute it's a easy win at POPLA for the motorist0 -
That, presumably is historical cases, what about future ones I wonder?I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

There’s a grey area in respect of cases in which the parking operator has not asked the motorist to make a payment in respect of alleged breach of Byelaws - even though Byelaws are in operation (e.g. ParkingEye at Southampton Town Quay). What will POPLA do with such cases whenever an appellant raises the “Byelaws Card”?

Perhaps the BPA will give a hospital pass to WHOPLA on these!

Cool. That's 2 months closer to timing out 0 -
Hi,
These cases (incl. mine) remain adjourned. When we talk of 'timeouts', are we safe now? My speculative invoice was raised in June last year!

For the purposes of a Mags Court prosecution by the TOC, that's more than 6 months on my reckoning! :whistle: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. .

Final message received from POPLA, 2 years after initial appeal!:Thank you for submitting your parking charge Appeal to POPLA.
An Appeal has been opened with the reference xxxxxx.
Indigo Solutions have told us they do not wish to contest the Appeal. This means that your Appeal is successful and you do not need to pay the parking charge.
Yours sincerely
POPLA Team
