Stopping in a no stopping zone (private land)

CashStrapped

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 that

It's been a little while so apologies for the silence. Not sure what the time period was between date of the incident and a letter coming through - it was so long ago that remembering the cadence of communications is fuzzy. I do remember getting a letter through and wondering why there was nothing that came before, but I can't provide I didn't receive something. 

Anyway, i've got a court date set and now need to send off some evidence to court! What a fabulous waste of time.

You do not have to prove you did not receive post. Service by post is only a rebuttable presumption. If you state non-receipt, you may put the sender to strict proof of posting or delivery. They must produce evidence (e.g. proof of posting or proof of delivery). If they cannot, the presumption of delivery is rebutted.
