Reel Cinema Car park, York.
PCN received showing my vehicle entering the car park and leaving 21 mins later, no payment made as I used to use the car park a lot and thought it was free after 8pm (it used to be). Fee was £1 for 12 hours overnight. Total costs incurred for non payment of the period 2.9p PCN incorrectly addressed (mistake in building name spelling). £60 PCN ignored, £100 PCN ignored, Letter from Gladstones with charge for £150 ignored. Letter from Northampton Court. Defence filed online. My defence was that the claimants evidence was obtained by illegally installed ANPR cameras of which there was no planning permission. It was retrospectively applied for. PCN not correctly served (address incorrect and details obtained by illegal cameras). No contract entered. Minster Baywatch not mentioned on the signage at the entrance, it states contract to park and Bransby Wilson Parking Solutions (same firm as Minster). They took it all the way to court. hearing was today. Despite the entrance signage not mentioning Minster Baywatch the judge deemed that the yellow signage around the car park was a sufficient contract I'd agreed to. The planning permission had been approved and backdated to the installation date. Judge wasn't interested that the charges were grossly disproportionate to the actual costs incurred. Claimant awarded £150, plus £75 solicitors costs, plus £25 court costs. |
