I've given you my view - It's sharp practice, for which it is hard to see a commercial justification, and I would like to hope most County Court judges would take a dim view of court time being taken up with such a case.

Neither Ocean Parking not the IAS are likely to uphold an appeal, but if you were prepared to fight it all the way you would seem to have a defence to put forward.

Cheers

I'll provide a picture of the onsite signage today, but initial thoughts? Pay or fight it?

I'd like to see them explain to a judge the commercial justification for a £100 charge here...

Can you post up signs in the car park to look at what best advice to provide.

Hey all,

Looking for some advice


Some information;

Incident time 09:16 on 26/05. parked in the space and part of tyre was on the white line. The "space" next to car is void as it is next to a walkway. The walkway is raised and continues raised across the entire car park. The raised crossing can be seen with the angles red bricks and zebra crossing marks.

The three pictures are what they provided as the proof.

Any advice would be welcomed! Thanks in advance
