Brittania Parking Waitrose Hythe
« on: »
My partner has just received a letter very similar to this one:

https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/re-overstay-waitrose-in-south-woodford-britannia-parking/msg102952/#msg102952

But they make no reference to the RK, or the driver, but "the motorist". I'll post both sides of the letter later on, Ive just finished a late duty and my insomnia needs to rest!

does anyone know if "the motorist exists as a legal entity?  a question i've asked before with no reply.

We need to see your partners letter. Dates and specific circumstances are important. In the letter linked to there appears to be no mention of POFA so as long as the drivers identity is not revealed they can't hold anyone liable for the charges, certainly  not the keeper. Thats a stronger defence than quibbling over the term motorist, although it does look like the wording on the letter was written by an amateur,  not sure how you can issue a charge to a vehicle.

The Private Parking Sector Single Code of Practice frequently uses the term "motorist", although helpfully it isn't one of the defined terms in the CoP.

That said, I agree with ixxy that it's not something to get hung up on. The answer to the question is unlikely to be found in the appeals process or the County Courts, and the answer is also unlikely to be the key to getting the charge cancelled.

Once we see the notice we can advise on next steps.

Yes, I'll suggest to her to ask the manager at Waitrose as i understand a lot of shopping was done there along with a friend, and a meal in their cafe. Need to get a pic of the T&Cs as well.

We're working opposite shifts at the moment so won't see her until tomorrow morning!

I'm not too hung up on the term "motorist" either.
