See my comments in the POPLA Decisions sticky. Well done.

Good win bergkamp, but a risky appeal. PE signage is usually ‘spot on’, in fact it was the clarity of their signage that provided much of the tipping point weight at the Beavis Supreme Court case. Unless their signage at the particular site of the parking event was missing or utterly woeful - both unlikely - then I think you might have dodged a bullet with that one!

The ANPR accuracy and compliance is now viewed here as a ‘dead in the water’ appeal point as POPLA have been accepting PPC general statements that their systems are fully serviced and accurate at face value. Another bullet dodged!

Leaving just your one other appeal point - Landowner Authority. There must have been something quite amiss with PE paperwork on this, otherwise they would surely have contested.

In summary, good win, albeit stepping over very thin ice in the process. A win’s a win!

Hope you don’t mind me saying this for the benefit of NEWBIES - this is not a recommended appeal for copying and pasting - unless you’re a ‘high roller’.

Fair comment as always Umkomaas.

My work mate saw no signage, hence the ticket!
Will reply in full later when I have more time...

The ParkingEye 'managed' Aldi car park I used to use to fight these scammers, had very large signage.
£70 was write LARGE...
I have never paid an invoice I received as RK, getting them cancelled at first appeal or POPLA(old and new). The only blemish is a WHOPLA loss, but nothing has been heard of that since...

This store has since closed, but as luck would have it, a brand new ALDI has opened close to my work. These new signs at this new ALDI are tiny and high up the poles. Haven't got the Chelmsford sign size to hand, but am sure it was bigger these NEW ones!!

ParkingEye have the Supreme court decision in their favour regarding signage, but still use smaller signage to entrap motorists imo....

I have yet to receive an invoice from this new location but will in time. My first test will be the genuine shopper clause again.

I would not advise any newbie to deliberately obtain a Parking Charge Notice .

I only ' High Roll ' with ParkingEye at ALDI as we know to date they can take it no further than letters....
