Premier Park - 3x £100 invoices whilst ex friend from abroad using a car am I liable?

A now ex friend was using my car whilst visiting me from Greece and working from coffee shops and overstayed the 2 hour time slot on three occasions in a week. The parking charge notices arrived a few days ago and he is refusing to pay for them and we had a falling out. 

I assume right thing to do is appeal/provide his details in Greece, but if he ignores the letters and refuses to pay I wanted to know whether I would be liable when it comes to court.

    If you fell out transfer liability to him 
  • If he doesn’t pay would it not come back on me as a keeper of the car?

    If you use the transfer of liability slip at the bottom of the PCN and give his name and a serviceable address in Greece, you have done your bit!

    It isn't about him paying it
    Transfer liability and keep an audit trail of you having done so 
    Any issues come back it. Do it online for all the pcns

    Simple enough - fill in the Transfer of Liability tear off on the rear side of the Notice to Keeper. You will need to do it separately for each one. 
    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.
