Some clarity please England PCN - Live in Scotland

It will still be difficult and costly for them to try anything up here. The fact that they have quoted a law that doesn't apply up here isn't in their favour either.

Herzlos, I would disagree with using POPLA for paranoid reasons, I. E. by using POPLA it could be argued that the OP has agreed to let English courts have jurisdiction.

POPLA has nothing to do with the courts, and they can't expect the lay man to know that POPLA has no jurisdiction in this case; because it was offered.

I agree it has nothing to do with the courts. However, as it was established as a direct result of an English law, accepting POPLA's authority can be viewed as acceptance of English law overruling Scots law, and thereby muddying the waters.

Coupon-mad

Also, we had a scared OP from NI here who had a PCN for a parking event in Wales. She appealed to POPLA because it was offered and we expected her to win, but she lost and felt very much on the back foot. I am not sure if she held her nerve and didn't pay...

With hindsight, I feel we should tell people in this position (people living in NI or Scotland) not to try POPLA unless they have a slam-dunk, nailed-on winning point.
