    Never say never, but Spring are hardly Premiership material on the litigation front, and with such a shaky ground case they have here, I don't think they'll be rushing to meet any judge soon.

    The permit wasn't fit for purpose, that's a point to use against the school to pressurise them to get it cancelled (not that you sound like you need to pressurise them if the permit person is trying to get it cancelled anyway).


    I'm fed up of people being given flimsy bits of paper which easily blow off the dashboard, or are easy to mislay, and then they are charged £100 plus for the failure by the landowner/PPC to provide a fit for purpose permit. Also, no system for the PPC to double check number plates or anything like that - the landowner (school) should have a list of number plates so that when it transpires that the recipient of the pcn is a permit holder the PPC can simply cancel the ticket.


    Until landowners feel the pain they are going to carry on ignoring issues like these.

    Good result - but can you guess as to the reason(s) they came to for cancelling? Any particular button you pressed that tipped the scales?

    Because it was originally cancelled. The employee at Spring Parking luckily remembered my partners colleague and agreed to cancel it again. It was originally cancelled because the reasons were very weak.She had a permit but it was not fit for purpose (Paper which blew off the dash)

    Great.
    A point I hadn't raised was estoppel - if the PPC originally agreed to cancel, then reneged on that, then they should be "estopped" from proceeding - it's an old equitable remedy. I didn't raise it because you said your partner wouldn't want to defend and would pay up - but I'm mentioning it now in case someone else is reading this thread.
