Just look at your numbering.

Just one example:
The introduction suggests that signage is point number 3.

The body says: "2 The signs in this car park..."

Your section numbering in post 19.

Go back and read what you have writ and see if it makes sense. If it doesn't make sense to you, it won't make sense to a PoPLA a assessor.

It certainly doesn't make sense to me.

Is there a appeal template for POFA regulation for not receiving NTK within 14 days which I can refer to ?

If you mean "Is there an appeal template for them not being able to transfer the driver's liability to the keeper" then the answer is yes, of course.

It's in post #3 of the NEWBIES thread.

Hope this one is now suitable ?

POPLA Ref No.xxxxxxxx
I am the registered Keeper of the above vehicle and I am appealing against above charge from INITIAL Parking. The charge is levied despite the driver not being identified. I contend that I am not liable for the parking charge on the following grounds and would ask that they are all considered.

1. The NTK is non-compliant with the POFA
2. No evidence of Landowner Authority - the operator is put to strict proof of full compliance with the BPA Code of Practice
3. The signs in this car park are not prominent, clear or legible from all parking spaces and there is insufficient notice of the sum of the parking charge itself

1 The NTK is non-compliant with the POFA
As per POFA 2012, schedule 4, paragraph 9, sub-paragraph (4),(5) & (6)
(4)The notice must be given by— (a) handing it to the keeper, or leaving it at a current address for service for the keeper, within the relevant period; or (b) sending it by post to a current address for service for the keeper so that it is delivered to that address within the relevant period.
(5) The relevant period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) is the period of 14 days beginning with the day after that on which the specified period of parking ended.
(6) A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered (and so “given” for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)) on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales.
As per above, since the contravention date is 25th May, & the NTK should have arrived within 14 days i.e by 8th June. However the date of issue of NTK was 6th June and I did not receive it even until after 17th June.
As this requirement set out in schedule 4, paragraph 9, subparagraph 4, 5 & 6 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 has not been complied with, therefore there can be no keeper liability.

2 No evidence of Landowner Authority - the operator is put to strict proof of full compliance with the BPA Code of Practice
As this operator does not have proprietary interest in the land then I require that they produce an unredacted copy of the contract with the landowner.

The contract and any 'site agreement' or 'User Manual' setting out details - such as any 'genuine customer' or 'genuine resident' exemptions or any site occupier's 'right of veto' charge cancellation rights, and of course all enforcement dates/times/days, and the boundary of the site - is key evidence to define what this operator is authorised to do, and when/where.

It cannot be assumed, just because an agent is contracted to merely put some signs up and issue Parking Charge Notices, that the agent is authorised on the material date, to make contracts with all or any category of visiting drivers and/or to enforce the charge in court in their own name (legal action regarding land use disputes generally being a matter for a landowner only).

Witness statements are not sound evidence of the above, often being pre-signed, generic documents not even identifying the case in hand or even the site rules. A witness statement might in some cases be accepted by POPLA but in this case I suggest it is unlikely to sufficiently evidence the definition of the services provided by each party to the agreement.

Nor would it define vital information such as charging days/times, any exemption clauses, grace periods (which I believe may be longer than the bare minimum times set out in the BPA CoP) and basic but crucial information such as the site boundary and any bays where enforcement applies/does not apply. Not forgetting evidence of the only restrictions which the landowner has authorised can give rise to a charge, as well as the date that the parking contract began, and when it runs to, or whether it runs in perpetuity, and of course, who the signatories are: name/job title/employer company, and whether they are authorised by the landowner to sign a binding legal agreement.

Paragraph 7 of the BPA CoP defines the mandatory requirements and I put this operator to strict proof of full compliance:

7.2 If the operator wishes to take legal action on any outstanding parking charges, they must ensure that they have the written authority of the landowner (or their appointed agent) prior to legal action being taken.

7.3 The written authorisation must also set out:

a the definition of the land on which you may operate, so that the boundaries of the land can be clearly defined

b any conditions or restrictions on parking control and enforcement operations, including any restrictions on hours of operation

c any conditions or restrictions on the types of vehicles that may, or may not, be subject to parking control and enforcement

d who has the responsibility for putting up and maintaining signs

e the definition of the services provided by each party to the agreement

3 The signs in this car park are not prominent, clear or legible from all parking spaces and there is insufficient notice of the sum of the parking charge itself

I note that within the Protection of Freedoms Act (POFA) 2012 it discusses the clarity that needs to be provided to make a motorist aware of the parking charge. Specifically, it requires that the driver is given 'adequate notice' of the charge. POFA 2012 defines 'adequate notice' as follows:

''(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) 'adequate notice' means notice given by: (a) the display of one or more notices in accordance with any applicable requirements prescribed in regulations under paragraph 12 for, or for purposes including, the purposes of sub-paragraph (2); or (b) where no such requirements apply, the display of one or more notices which: (i) specify the sum as the charge for unauthorised parking; and (ii) are adequate to bring the charge to the notice of drivers who park vehicles on the relevant land''.

Even in circumstances where POFA 2012 does not apply, I believe this to be a reasonable standard to use when making my own assessment, as appellant, of the signage in place at the location. Having considered the signage in place at this particular site against the requirements of Section 18 of the BPA Code of Practice and POFA 2012, I am of the view that the signage at the site - given the minuscule font size of the £sum, which is illegible in most photographs and does not appear at all at the entrance - is NOT sufficient to bring the parking charge (i.e. the sum itself) to the attention of the motorist.

There was no contract nor agreement on the 'parking charge' at all. It is submitted that the driver did not have a fair opportunity to read about any terms involving this huge charge, which is out of all proportion and not saved by the dissimilar 'ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis' case.

In the Beavis case, which turned on specific facts relating only to the signs at that site and the unique interests and intentions of the landowners, the signs were unusually clear and not a typical example for this notorious industry. The Supreme Court were keen to point out the decision related to that car park and those facts only:

In the Beavis case, the £85 charge itself was in the largest font size with a contrasting colour background and the terms were legible, fairly concise and unambiguous. There were 'large lettering' signs at the entrance and all around the car park, according to the Judges.

Here is the 'Beavis case' sign as a comparison to the signs under dispute in this case:

Link Deleted for this post since Forum system is not letting me post the Link

This case, by comparison, does not demonstrate an example of the 'large lettering' and 'prominent signage' that impressed the Supreme Court Judges and swayed them into deciding that in the specific car park in the Beavis case alone, a contract and 'agreement on the charge' existed.

Here, the signs are sporadically placed, indeed obscured and hidden in some areas. They are unremarkable, not immediately obvious as parking terms and the wording is mostly illegible, being crowded and cluttered with a lack of white space as a background. It is indisputable that placing letters too close together in order to fit more information into a smaller space can drastically reduce the legibility of a sign, especially one which must be read BEFORE the action of parking and leaving the car.

It is vital to observe, since 'adequate notice of the parking charge' is mandatory under the POFA Schedule 4 and the BPA Code of Practice, these signs do not clearly mention the parking charge which is hidden in small print (and does not feature at all on some of the signs). Areas of this site are unsigned and there are no full terms displayed - i.e. with the sum of the parking charge itself in large lettering - at the entrance either, so it cannot be assumed that a driver drove past and could read a legible sign, nor parked near one.

This case is more similar to the signage in POPLA decision 5960956830 on 2.6.16, where the Assessor Rochelle Merritt found as fact that signs in a similar size font in a busy car park where other unrelated signs were far larger, was inadequate:

''the signage is not of a good enough size to afford motorists the chance to read and understand the terms and conditions before deciding to remain in the car park. [...] In addition the operators signs would not be clearly visible from a parking space [...] The appellant has raised other grounds for appeal but I have not dealt with these as I have allowed the appeal.''

From the evidence I have seen so far, the terms appear to be displayed inadequately, in letters no more than about half an inch high, approximately. I put the operator to strict proof as to the size of the wording on their signs and the size of lettering for the most onerous term, the parking charge itself.

The letters seem to be no larger than .40 font size going by this guide:

As further evidence that this is inadequate notice, Letter Height Visibility is discussed here:

Link Deleted for this post since Forum system is not letting me post the Link

''When designing your sign, consider how you will be using it, as well as how far away the readers you want to impact will be. For example, if you are placing a sales advertisement inside your retail store, your text only needs to be visible to the people in the store. 1-2' letters (or smaller) would work just fine. However, if you are hanging banners and want drivers on a nearby highway to be able to see them, design your letters at 3' or even larger.''

...and the same chart is reproduced here:

Link Deleted for this post since Forum system is not letting me post the Link

''When designing an outdoor sign for your business keep in mind the readability of the letters. Letters always look smaller when mounted high onto an outdoor wall''.

''...a guideline for selecting sign letters. Multiply the letter height by 10 and that is the best viewing distance in feet. Multiply the best viewing distance by 4 and that is the max viewing distance.''

So, a letter height of just half an inch, showing the terms and the 'charge' and placed high on a wall or pole or buried in far too crowded small print, is woefully inadequate in an outdoor car park. Given that letters look smaller when high up on a wall or pole, as the angle renders the words less readable due to the perspective and height, you would have to stand right in front of it and still need a stepladder (and perhaps a torch and/or magnifying glass) to be able to read the terms.

Under Lord Denning's Red Hand Rule, the charge (being 'out of all proportion' with expectations of drivers in this car park and which is the most onerous of terms) should have been effectively: 'in red letters with a red hand pointing to it' - i.e. VERY clear and prominent with the terms in large lettering, as was found to be the case in the car park in 'Beavis'. A reasonable interpretation of the 'red hand rule' and the 'signage visibility distance' tables above and the BPA Code of Practice, taking all information into account, would require a parking charge and the terms to be displayed far more transparently, on a lower sign and in far larger lettering, with fewer words and more 'white space' as background contrast. Indeed in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 there is a 'Requirement for transparency':

(1) A trader must ensure that a written term of a consumer contract, or a consumer notice in writing, is transparent.
(2) A consumer notice is transparent for the purposes of subsection (1) if it is expressed in plain and intelligible language and it is legible.

The Beavis case signs not being similar to the signs in this appeal at all, I submit that the persuasive case law is in fact 'Vine v London Borough of Waltham Forest [2000] EWCA Civ 106' about a driver not seeing the terms and consequently, she was NOT deemed bound by them.

This judgment is binding case law from the Court of Appeal and supports my argument, not the operator's case:

Link Deleted for this post since Forum system is not letting me post the Link

This was a victory for the motorist and found that, where terms on a sign are not seen and the area is not clearly marked/signed with prominent terms, the driver has not consented to - and cannot have 'breached' - an unknown contract because there is no contract capable of being established. The driver in that case (who had not seen any signs/lines) had NOT entered into a contract. The recorder made a clear finding of fact that the plaintiff, Miss Vine, did not see a sign because the area was not clearly marked as 'private land' and the signs were obscured/not adjacent to the car and could not have been seen and read from a driver's seat before parking.

So, for this appeal, I put this operator to strict proof of where the car was parked and (from photos taken in the same lighting conditions) how their signs appeared on that date, at that time, from the angle of the driver's perspective. Equally, I require this operator to show how the entrance signs appear from a driver's seat, not stock examples of 'the sign' in isolation/close-up. I submit that full terms simply cannot be read from a car before parking and mere 'stock examples' of close-ups of the (alleged) signage terms will not be sufficient to disprove this.

Change this as 8th June was not a working day:

As per above, since the contravention date is 25th May, & the NTK should have arrived within 14 days i.e by 8th June. However the date of issue of NTK was 6th June and I did not receive it even until after 17th June.

Instead maybe this:

The purported date of issue of the Notice to Keeper, being a Thursday (6th June), was too late to be deemed delivered by day 14. I did not receive it until 17th June so clearly it wasn't actually posted on the date the aggressive parking firm say it was, but even if POPLA are minded to believe that it was posted on that Thursday, under the POFA stated interpretation of days of service, it was not deemed delivered until the following Monday 10th June which is day 16 and too late for keeper liability.

This timeline is not open to Assessor interpretation or the biased opinion of POPLA's sector 'expert'. The NTK being deemed delivered at the earliest on day 16 means as a matter of law and fact, this PCN was not properly given.

Hi All,

As per your help I had filed an appeal with Popla to which Initial parking has responded (including copy of my originally declined appeal with Initial Parking which mentions who the driver was but no named). POPLA has asked me to respond within 7 days from 14th July. which I understand is tomorrow 20th July.

Please help me draft a winning response.

Please see below the details of my appeal with POPLA: and I will send another reply to this post with INITIAL Parking's response to my appeal.

As per above, since the contravention date is 26th May, & the NTK should have arrived within 14 days i.e by 9th June. However the date of issue of NTK was 7th June and I did not receive it even until after 14th June.

The purported date of issue of the Notice to Keeper, being a Friday (7th June), was too late to be deemed delivered by day 14. I did not receive it until 17th June so clearly it wasn't actually posted on the date the aggressive parking firm say it was, but even if POPLA are minded to believe that it was posted on that Friday, under the POFA stated interpretation of days of service, it was not deemed delivered until the following Monday/Tuesday 10th/11th June which is beyond 14 days and too late for keeper liability. This timeline is not open to Assessor interpretation or the biased opinion of POPLA's sector 'expert'. The NTK being deemed delivered at the earliest on day 15/16 means as a matter of law and fact, this PCN was not properly given.

As this requirement set out in schedule 4, paragraph 9, subparagraph 4, 5 & 6 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 has not been complied with, therefore there can be no keeper liability.

Hi, I have just found this forum. I have received 2 tickets for Fistral beach for the same day, the morning I remember driving into the car park, checking the waves online and then leaving the car park, have been done for 28 mins.

Then I returned that evening for dinner, however I’m pretty sure it’s free parking from 4pm?

I see people have stating about using a basic appeal note but I’m not sure where to find this? Please could someone link me to this ?

Also does anyone had any pics of the signs please?

Thanks!!
Got 2 notices for total of total of £200 or £120 if pay by next week.

Date of notice is 16th July
Date of contravention 3rd July

Received this post - 18th July

Please help!!
