I have searched high and low but maybe not enough. Now that that Transport Scotland Bill has passed, has the Keeper Liability clause kicked in with relation to parking on private land?
Thanks |

Thanks Not at least until Royal Assent has been given - it hasn't been as yet. It won't have retrospective applicability. This post has been edited by Umkomaas: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 - 22:07 |

It seems Royal Assent was given on 15th November https://www.transport.gov.scot/our-approach...-scotland-bill/ |

Thanks. It seems Royal Assent was given on 15th November https://www.transport.gov.scot/our-approach...-scotland-bill/ Wow! I've had a skip read and it seems that PePiPoo will be getting a lot of work in future. Camera enforcement. Private parking charges. Dropped kerbs seem to have no exemption for property owners. |

Dropped kerbs seem to have no exemption for property owners. Dropped kerbs (well they are called dropped footways here) are those which are "for the purpose of assisting pedestrians or cyclists to cross the carriageway", not driveways, so not sure there will be an impact on property owners? -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

Anyone know when this actually starts? I can’t find an actual date of when keepers will become liable. Will they also be able to go back to keepers already issued invoices before the start date?

AIUI the gov't hasn't yet released the 'regulations' (which will be set by the 'Scottish Ministers'), until that happens then it cannot be engaged.
For example for the NtD (58Z3) QUOTE (2) The notice contains such information as the Scottish Ministers may by regulations prescribe Similar paragraphs for the NtK (with or without NtD).

I was just curious as I know a keeper who’s car somehow got an invoice |

Well until the Scottish ministers release the requirements there can be no keeper liability.
I guess it could reply retrospectively from that if a parking company miraculously manage to get the requirements spot on without knowing what they are going to be....... -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

Is it not more the point that the relevant parts of the Act aren't in force yet?

I was of the understanding that retrospective legislation could only be created by explicit words, unless the relevant provisions state that they have retrospective effect would they not apply from the commencement date onwards? -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Dang, when did this happen. Ah well, the writing was on the walls.
Any news if this has all been set in stone yet. Someone I know just got PPC, and they weren't driving, so I thought I would double-check, and I find this. It has been a while since I graced this site, and it looks like a lot has changed. Cheers |

They got a Private Parking Company? (PCN perhaps?)
No, not at all in force yet. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

He didn't' know what it was until they put the sign up on front after re-building it Taken note to watch my TLA's Cheers |

Hi,
Do you know if this is finally in place yet? I'm not sure if I should pay or ignore. Cheers |

The law is in place, the requirements to be able to use it are not. Of course while it’s not impossible a current PCN May meet the unknown requirements, it’s pretty unlikely.
Regardless, they could sue the keeper on the reasonable assumption they were driving, like the do mostly in England (PoFA compliance seemingly being much harder than anyone thought, and supports how unlikely it is above), but don’t due to the costs of bringing a case in Scotland, so I doubt keeper liability will actually change much anyway. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!
