Stopping in a no stopping zone (private land)

Looks to be the same location as my recent thread. So this car park is a well known black spot for egregious parking fines?
Are these "no stopping" car parks common?
If the OP is still checking, what was the time period before the date of the incident and a letter coming through in the post?

The "No stopping" thing is relatively new.As far as i know the Airports were the first places this particular scheme popped up - however these places are plastered with by laws so will not be relevant land under PoFA as long as the person snagged up with a parking charge at such a place doesn't shoot themselves in the foot - something which is extremely common going by the posts people make on here.As for private car parks and other bits of land not covered with by-laws it remains to be seen how well people deal with these, as stopping/unloading is not parking ( as per jopson vs homeguard)Another similar ruse from PPC land was trying to issue parking charge notices for going out the wrong exit of a car park, although I only remember one case of thatFrom the Plain Language Commission:
