    No, it's a Sainsbury's own car park, run by ECP. Not on a retail park. So even more emphasis on Sainsbury's wanting to essentially charge people for following their own rules!

    Are you 100% certain ?

    If you want some fun, we can send a letter to the CEO which he will not ignore

    The CEO's office have already apparently asserted their stance but I feel like another email to the CEO reiterating their position would be useful. I will go down the POPLA appeal route but I feel as though that will result in the same rejection as it's an appeal on the grounds of common sense rather than a particular piece of legislation, right?

    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.

    May as well take it to POPLA as it wouldn't cost me any more to appeal to that level, correct?

    And what do you mean fight fire with fire?

    Are you sure the car park at Balham (which I vaguely know) is owned by Sainsburys?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    It has Sainsburys on all the signage CM and even a digital clock at the entrance (with Sainsburys on it) telling you you have two hours and when your time will expire.

    Thanks for that, i am helping the OP off forum.

    In your view does this indicate that Sainsbury's instructed Euro to manage the car park
