#7 Re: Parking Charge Notice - Unfair / Misleading signs - Gatewat Retail Park, Beckton

I added to the first paragraph, is this still acceptable?"I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner. Your signage is unclear, and not clearly visible when entering the car park especially at night as it is unlit and under a tree. It is also not feasible to have such a short stay allowance for restaurants with table service offered at that hour. As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper of the vehicle liable for the charge. Partial or even substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions can be drawn. ECP has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. ECP have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN. "
