Euro Car Parks, DCB Legal LTD, Court CLaim 2025

so the standard time allowed is two hours , with the keying device in the gym you are allowed to stay for 3 hours and the driver was in the car park for about 3hrs and 30 minutes - so an overstay of about 30 minutes - is this a defence worth stating ?

Gr1pr

No need to be so specific at the moment,  more like what coupon mad said earlier 

Don't do their job for them, authorised is authorised,  let them pick holes in it later 

Rico30

Gotcha, so something like this : 
The location is a shared-use customer car park serving several retail and leisure premises, including a gym where extended visits are normal. The defendant was not merely a shopper but a legitimate customer entitled to park for longer, as permitted for gym users. The particulars of claim refer only to an alleged overstay; any overstay is denied. No breach of terms and conditions occurred.

Gr1pr

Yes, looks like a good paragraph 3 to me

Add and driver to the end of paragraph 2 as well

The point being that you are making the driver defendant front and centre as an entitled legitimate customer

Any possible discrepancy could be poor and inadequate signage,  penalising genuine customers, which is clearly not a good business model

Coupon-mad

I think that's fine but you'll have to remove the first sentence of para 4 which conflicts.

Rico30

Thanks guys. 

Just to be sure at the end of paragraph two , i am to state that the defendant is the driver?

 

Gr1pr

Yes, so that paragraph 3 agrees with paragraph 2, and remove the first sentence in paragraph 4
