Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks, Stamfordman.

The case I referred to in my defence was judged on the same premise. There was no possibiilty of dipslaying a valid parking oermit nor was there a charge payable for the first hour.

Do you think I stand a chance by arguing precedent?

HI Anderson,
Please see below:

Parked at:Bobby Moore Way car park in Barking;

Parking rights purchased at 21:30 for 4 hours commencing at 21:30 (plus post your evidence - available evidence posted within the earlier posts. Accidentally shredded the initial PCN documentation, but uploaded the subsequent communication);

PCN issued: 20:51; This is within the first free hour

Is there a board at the car park which notifies users that a penalty may be incurred if X, Y or Z happens e.g. failing to pay or register for first hour etc? - Yes , the board says to register the first free hour on the app. This is what I failed to do.

I have inserted the communications from the borough earlier in the post, but essentially I got issued a PCN for failing to display a valid parking ticket which I am hoping appeal on a technicality - i.e.that the contravention quoted was inaccurate.

Hope this is enough info?

Yes - and intended to stay for four hours. As they told me the first hour was free, I paid from 21:30 for four hours.

Except the maximum stay allowed is 4 hours including the free hour.

Blimey - £15.60 was Bobby Moore's weekly wage back in the day.

I would make reps on two points:

The misleading contravention of not paying during the free part

The duty of fairness given you paid a substantial parking fee for time after the free hour.
