NTO addressed to 'CEP Fleet, c/o BMW, Paddock Lane....'
The 'Redacted E Correspondence' ..reps from Jade Saunders, LCH Ltd, Centennial Park....
What the hell?
OP, Pl do the legwork with this evidence:
To whom was the NTO issued;
Who made the so-called representations;
Even the council's evidence states the 'Hirer' was 'BMW ix(D)?
'hirer': a person or company that pays to use something, such as a car or equipment, for a short time:[/i]
The representation grounds:
(d)the recipient is a vehicle-hire firm and—
(i)the vehicle in question was at the material time hired from that firm under a hiring agreement, and
(ii)the person hiring it had signed a statement of liability acknowledging their liability in respect of any penalty charge notice served in respect of any relevant road traffic contravention involving the vehicle during the currency of the hiring agreement;
IMO, you might have signed a form, but IMO you DID NOT 'hire' the vehicle. You might be liable to the hire company UNDER CONTRACT LAW but not parking law.
Is my view.
