Brambles Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 http://assets.dft.gov.uk/publications/guidance-unpaid-parking-charges/guidance-unpaid-parking-charges.pdf ..but do make sure you read this bit as well............ Charges for breaking a parking contract must be reasonable and a genuine pre-estimate of loss. This means charges must compensate the landholder only for the loss they are likely to suffer because the parking contract has been broken. For example, to cover the unpaid charges and the administrative costs associated with issuing the ticket to recover the charges. Charges may not be set at higher levels than necessary to recover business losses and the intention should not be to penalise the driver. If the terms and conditions of parking contracts seek to impose charges for different types of breaches (eg for straddling two bays compared to overstaying in one bay), or for the same breaches in different car parks, consideration should be given to whether the level of loss is likely to vary accordingly. Schedule 4 also provides for parking charges in England and Wales to be recoverable from the registered keeper where a person trespasses on private land by parking a vehicle on the land without permission. In those circumstances a landholder must be able to show he or she has suffered a loss and justify the damages they are seeking to recover for the trespass.

colin Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This hopefully will root out the real nasty bas..... who make a living from ripping off motorists, but as far as supermarkets go it pretty much legalises what they are now doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thank's Brambles, Don't know why the links din't work, copied them just as they were on the the other forums. It stops clamping on private land also. Could be a problem estimating the loss to the landowner. If the charge is say £1 per hour and you stay for 2hrs, then clearly you owe £1 which is the landowners loss, but his loss is more than that because he has to employ and pay these agencies to recoup that £1. If he does not use these agencies, then he has to use solicitors or his company's legal team. We now enter Megabucks land. (that's how I understand it) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Some forums automatically truncate web links so they do not end up massively wide or long on the screen, they stil link correctly but no point copying as they will not work on other forums. Go to the linked site and copy the address from the address bar is the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
