Initial Parking Fistral

Hello all.
Driver received a heads up from the registered keeper, that he received a NTK from Initial Parking (Fistral Beach). The driver has burrowed his car for a few weeks.
NTK received
Date of Contravention: 11 May 2020
Date of Notice: 18 May 2020.
He has transferred liability to me. I then receive a Notice to Hirer.
Notice to Hirer
Date of Contravention: 11 May 2020
Date of Notice: 5 June 2020
The PCN was for 26 minutes. The driver entered to look at the waves and planned to leave straight way. However, we had to stop because my children were in hysterics, due to soiled nappies.
I immediately responded with the Blue “one size fits all” First appeal on the 11/06/20.
On the 12/06/20, I received from Initial Parking a rejection letter. Along with a POPLA Verification Number. The same day, the driver has sent a letter to the landowner Jon Briant.
Am I going about this the right way?
I am not paying £60 for 26 minutes!

Depends what you expect , I do not believe there is any free period there , not for looking at the waves or sightseeing , if you stay , you pay , so the driver has either defrauded the landowner , or Initial , or both
It's a pay and display car park and at the moment I see no grounds for you to win , but you can try a popla appeal based on the usual appeal points such as no landowner authority , poor signage etc
The point of an appeal is to win on a legal technicality , it's not a foregone conclusion and if the driver is found to be in the wrong then the claimant may well win at popla
Initial then have 6 years to issue a court case against the driver, a loss in court would cost about £200
I am failing to see how a non paying driver can win in this case , but happy to be proved wrong3 -

Given that you have bilked, a judge might decide that you should. However, if you want to fight the charge, please read the newbies at the top of the index page. .You never know how far you can go until you go too far.1 -
You should have appealed the NTH using the relevant hirer/lessee template appeal written by edna basher from the NEWBIES.
Never mind, you can now appeal the NTH using all the relevant template points from the third post of the NEWBIES, including non PoFA compliant NTH if the PPC have failed to comply with the strict requirements of paras 13 and 14 of the PoFA.
Include all the relevant points and post your draft here for checking before you submit it.
Have a look at this Fistral Beach thread that includes information in my post on 27/8/19 at 7.55 about the parking contract.

You just need to copy any other notice to hirer POPLA appeal. Search the forum!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Absolutely proceed with the specific hire car approach. It's a formula that works at POPLA .... 9 times out of 10? Maybe even more. Read other hire car threads and the relevant sections of the Protection of Freedoms Act until you fully understand the rationale behind this approach.3

Shoud be 100% slam dunk win if the OP was identified as the hirer, by borrowing a car for a few weeks. DON'T show any hire agreement in the POPLA appeal (yeah, we know, there isn't one!) but DO describe it that you hired the car and were the day to day keeper, but that ore than one person on the household is insured and the driver has never been identified. Thus, the POFA section about Notice to Hirers applies.
I hope the keeper didn't transfer liabiility by telling them 'the driver was'?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Split it over a number of separate posts.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.
