    So would my brief stop to return an incorrect takeaway order constitute to briefly stopping? and how long would constitute a "brief stop".....

    "Following this, the Court agreed that the Defendant’s brief stop to drop off groceries did not constitute parking. The claim was dismissed, and the Court awarded costs in favour of the Defendant under CPR 27.14(2)(g) , citing the Claimant’s unreasonable conduct and failure to rectify the false statement in their witness statement.

    This case underscores a pivotal clarification – a brief stop does not equate to parking. It serves as a persuasive  precedent that distinguishes between momentarily stopping and actual parking, bringing much-needed clarity to private parking enforcement practices."

    Well dropping off groceries / dropping off a food order would appear to be pretty identical. 

    Perhaps 5 minutes would be the limit.

    Surely it takes as long as it takes!  I think I read somewhere that picking up a preordered takeaway/groceries is counted as loading. Returning a wrongly provided takeaway should fall in the same category, it having be preordered in the first place.
