Free Traffic Legal Advice

Useful to know, thank you very much.

Ok, thanks very much for the advice.

The office manager is away on holiday this week, but I do intend to raise it with them on their return.

The “I” in this case was referring to the keeper rather than the driver, but the post has been modified as suggested, thanks.

There is a private car park at the back of the office building where the vehicle that the PCN relates to was parked. This is shared by multiple companies but managed by the same parking firm, One Parking Solution. The car registration was provided to the office manager so it could be registered to be parked in that car park. What the driver didn’t realise is that there are a small number of parking bays there that require a different permit to the one registered, this only became apparent after a PCN was attached to said vehicle on Saturday (24/8) for “Failure to Display a Valid Permit”.  This was clearly a genuine error, rather than an attempt to park without permission, as why else would the car have been parked in one of those bays if it was registered for the other ones in the car park?  It feels as if the charge in this case is somewhat opportunistic, rather than being based on any commercially justifiable loss to their company or the land owner. Does the driver have any grounds to be able to reliably contest it though?

Attached are photos of the signs (affixed to the wall of the building nearest the parking bays), along with the PCN.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
