Civil Enforcement issues a huge number of claims and the trespass issue is only one of the defence points
Another point is the near certainty that it doesn't have a contract with the leisure centre Contracts are nearly always in the name of a "clean" sister company that sub-contracts to CEL It's a bit academic because CEL always backs down if a claim is met with a serious defence |

The sign reads as forbidding to me. It is offering parking only to permit holders, so anyone else is not permitted to park there (i.e., is trespassing). Assuming it is a term of the contract, the instruction that drivers must "register for a permit" at the leisure centre certainly leaves quite a lot of material terms unclear from the signage alone. Is a consumer supposed to be reasonably agreeing--at the time of parking--to a parking contract that may contain other terms available only on a touch screen terminal located within a building which may not be open 24 hours, and omits the price term (i.e., the cost of the permit) entirely? I think not.
The sign is there simply to support CEL's speculative invoice business. Most people pay up (so I've heard), so why bother with a legally enforceable contract and all the hassle that would require? --Churchmouse |
