    That's about all you can include, and #1 is pushing it but worth a try, for example if the PPC forget to include in evidence, a copy of the NTK! Has happened!

    Upload it under 'OTHER' for POPLA. If you win, great, if you lose, don't pay! :)
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    There'll be instructions within your Word program on how to convert the document to a .PDF file. Or search via Google.
    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.

    Decision

    Successful

    Assessor Name

    Louise Dack

    Assessor summary of operator case

    On 11 June 2017, vehicle NX09YDH was issued with a Parking Charge Notice (PCN). This PCN was issued due to the motorist parking on a red route.

    Assessor summary of your case

    The appellant states that the operator has not shown that the individual who it is pursuing is in fact the driver who was liable for the charge, they do not believe that the operator has the authority from the landowner to issue charges on site and that the signage on the car park are not prominent, clear or legible from all parking spaces.

    Assessor supporting rational for decision

    When entering private land where parking is permitted, you are entering into a contract with the operator by remaining on this land. The terms and conditions of this land should be displayed around this area. It is essential that these terms are adhered to in order to avoid a PCN; it is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure that this is the case. The terms and conditions shown on the photographic evidence provided by the operator state ‘’No parking at any time…Please note that it is a condition of entry to the trust property that car parking or waiting is restricted to those persons having business with the trust or its patients…By entering, you contract and consent to: No waiting or parking allowed at any time on the designated ‘Red Route’…Failing to comply with any of these conditions you agree to pay the parking/entry charge of £50.00.’’ A PCN has been issued for the following reasons: the appellant has parked on a red route. The appellant states that the operator has not shown that the individual who it is pursuing is in fact the driver who was liable for the charge, they do not believe that the operator has the authority from the landowner to issue charges on site and that the signage on the car park are not prominent, clear or legible from all parking spaces. In terms of POPLA appeals, the burden of proof belongs with the operator to demonstrate it has issued the PCN correctly. In this instance, the operator has failed to provide a copy of the contract. As such, I am unable to confirm if the contract meets the requirement of the British Parking Association (BPA) Code of Practice section 7. Therefore, in this case, I am unable to confirm that the operator has landowner authority to issue PCN’s on the site in question. As such, I can only conclude that the PCN was issued incorrectly. Accordingly, I must allow this appeal.
