I have tried but to no avail - went into the shops on site to see if I could ask them to have it cancelled too. I know I have a deadline for POPLA so don't really want to miss that.Coupon-mad said:

I assume I am to appeal to POPLA with the standard templates?1 -
I will draft a POPLA appeal and put it here shortly. Would be really grateful if someone could let me know if I've missed anything from it.2

Just becasue Its been mentioned on another thread, are there any updated wording for these clauses? I drafted one a week ago but i believe the wording is from 2018.Gr1pr said:Pretty much, but online by uploading your Popla appeal choosing OTHER, no paperwork or form filling, typical categories are
No landowner authority
Poor and inadequate signage
POFA failures
No transfer of liability from driver to keeper
No keeper liability
Any BPA CoP failures
Etc0 -

Nope there's no updated wording because POPLA is so unimportant and people should just write their own appeals, not use templates. Or adapt the templates to bring the words up to date.
POPLA really isn't worth much effort.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

SOME IDEAS FOR DETERMINING WHO OWNS THE LANDFelics said:Also - If i am unable to locate the contact details of the retail park, what would be the next suggestion? Contact local councillor etc?1. Google searches2. If a retail park, check on any signage which lists the on-site outlets3. Ask retailers on the site if there is a managing agent4. Ask retailers on the site to whom do they pay rent5. Contact the local authority and ask who pays the non-domestic/business rate for the car park (some councils have a spreadsheet on their website)6. Contact the local Valuation Office and ask if they know. They often have a website which might provide the information7. Contact The Land Registry and for around £3 they should be able to provide definitive detail8. If you haven't already done so, give us the name of the car park/site/location, we may have seen other cases there.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.
