Murdo Fraser MSP, a Conservative politician in the Scottish parliament is to propose new legislation on private parking charges and 'penalties'.
He outlines his thinking on https://www.thinkscotland.org/thinkpolitics...read_full=13397 Whilst using language presenting this as in defence of the driver, I can't help but feel suspicious that he may be pandering to the companies. The main thrust seems to be to bring Scots law in line with the changes made to English law over the past few years including keeper liability. What parts of English law would you suggest we adopt, and which should we run a mile from? |

Seems to me this MSP is attacking the wrong target. Scottish law is seriously deficient when it comes to registration of debts at the sheriffs court. Unlike England there is no process like the English Statutory Declaration/Witness Statement to declare that enforcement documents have not been received. This is a serious hole in the legal process in Scotland
