Free Traffic Legal Advice

Dear PPS Appeals Team,

Thank you for your impressively misconstrued attempt to paraphrase Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 does not, as you seem to imagine, hand you a magic right to pursue the keeper. It merely establishes a rebuttable presumption — a concept that appears to have escaped your grasp, perhaps due to intellectual malnutrition.

Your citation of section 21.16 of the BPA Code of Practice is equally misplaced. Your reference to “section 21.16 of the BPA Code of Practice” is even more tragic, since the PPS Code of Practice (now superseded by the Private Parking Single Code of Practice) contains no such clause.

Nothing authorise you to “pursue the keeper” simply because they decline to identify the driver. That right arises only if and when every condition of Schedule 4 has been met — something your firm rarely manages on its best day.

I suggest you pass this to a responsible adult within your company, ideally someone with at least a passing familiarity with statutory interpretation. Until then, please stop embarrassing your organisation with letters that read like they were written by someone who has not yet achieved a high school education.

Yours faithfully,
