On the 9th May at approximately 11pm, the Driver parked at Carters Quay, Poole (outlined in red on the image)
Location of Vehicle. At approximately, 9:30am the Driver left the Property and found a Parking Charge Notice
Parking Charge Notice. The parking charge notice provided evidence at the Devere Website attached
Devere EvidenceThe Driver was in possession of a visitors permit, but didn’t display it. The Vehicle in question is a lease car used as a pool vehicle, who's registered keeper is a company and many people are able to use it.
The Driver would like to ascertain whether the notice has been correctly issued to ascertain whether they should challenge it.
Notwithstanding the above, the Driver notes that the BPA Code of Practice as amended in June 2024, clearly outlines within Paragraph 8.1.1 that the parking operator must not serve a notice which implies that they are a statutory authority. Clearly, the parking notice issued, looks to mimic/ replicate those that the local authority issue.
The parking operator must not serve a notice or include material on its website which in its design and/or language:
a) implies or would cause the recipient to infer statutory authority where none exists;
b) deliberately resembles a public authority civil enforcement penalty charge notice;
c) uses prohibited terminology as set out in Annex E; or
d) state the keeper is liable under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 where they cannot be held liable.
