Ocean Parking - Manchester Metrolink - Parked after operation hours

traceynob

Not trying to hijack this post, just wanted to say that a colleague of mine has just had a court claim from Ocean Parking for leaving car overnight at Whitefield Met which we are going to defend on basis of not relevant land etc. We will set up thread after outcome (whatever the verdict) for guidance to others but regrdless of whether the land is relevant land or not, I was under the impression that land that is not private land but public (as owned by TfGM which is a public body) means that parking charge notices are invalid (according to MoneySavingExpert advice). For example, a private parking company couldn't put a PCN on a car on a public highway even if they put signs up everywhere, it has to be private land?

No that's not correct.

If their client is TFGM then the land is under statutory control. But that doesn't make a PCN 'void'. Just means it's non-POFA.

Which solicitors are Ocean using?

Moorfield Legal. No letter before action though, the Moneyclaim came out of the blue last week. We alao received another letter today from Trace threatening court action for the same PCN so hoping you cant be taken to court twice for the same offence!!!

The defendant needs to come on here and start a new thread about their case, with a properly redacted picture of the claim form
