This is the letter i received a few days ago. Its ridiculous that they want me to pay £60 for 11 mins, I'm not in a position to just give this money away so here I am asking you guys for advice.

Could the driver say that he/she was just passing through the car park? Its a car park in Leicester st Georges tower. ParkingEye only recently were hired there. It says at the back of the letter that they have signs at the entrance and throughout the car park, and that the driver was supposed to use a terminal to register my car. https://i.imgur.com/UW71KSG.jpg

The driver has until the 19th of July to pay the £60 and then it goes to £100. dry.gif

Need to see the back of the PCN too.

You can say what you like (11 mins is a long time 'passing through') but they'll reject.

Annoying as the grace period will be 10 minutes.

What was the date of the incident and the issue date of the PCN and date it actually arrived through the letterbox.

The BPA grace period is 10 mins and you were 1 min over so if this does get to court it will fail on de minimis , a trivial matter the law does not get involved with. PE know this but will try it on in order to get the money.

If you answer the questions then an appeal may work but no answers no advice.

And stop identifying the driver, refer to them only as the driver so edit your previous posts, the keeper got the PCN, the driver parked.

PE will not cancel based on language.

Could the driver say that he/she was just passing through the car park? sounds like an invention that can bite you if ParkingEye recognises the case

Why was the car there for eleven minutes and left without registration ?

Couldn't find a space ?
Exit blocked ?
Driver collecting a resident who wasn't ready ?
Discovered in wrong car park
Etc

The carpark rarely has any spaces and its hard to find one. Could I possibly say that the driver had to look for a parking space and then read the terms and conditions which took a few mins extra than usual.

As I said earlier, you can say what you like. But the truth is anything you say will be rejected.

How about actually answering the question posed?

Ok so "the driver" drives into the privately owned off-road underground car park which has a very narrow lanes, its pretty much impossible to read the contract at the entrance because someone might be behind you so you cant hold up the traffic.
You have to go in the car park and to get out you need to drive all the way around the car park.

The car park has different sections. For puregym, premier inn and other offices. The driver went to the PureGym section

I got the PCN because the driver failed to enter the vehicle registration via the terminal

I don't know what else to tell you.

You appeal as keeper on 2 main points.

1. That 11mins is De minimis as it is 1 min over the BPA grace period of 10 mins

QUOTE
De minimis is a Latin expression meaning "about minimal things", normally in the locutions de minimis non curat praetor ("The praetor does not concern himself with trifles") or de minimis non curat lex ("The law does not concern itself with trifles") a legal doctrine by which a court refuses to consider trifling matters.[1][2]


2. The driver was disadvantaged by the tight layout of the car park, the multiple sections needed to be understood and navigated around and the full car park needed to be navigated before exiting.

They will reject, but with the rejection will come a POPLA code for a second appeal at POPLA which will be a lottery.

The main purpose of the First appeal is to put PE on notice that you understand that a 1 min overstay if used as the basis of a claim will likely be dismissed by the judge as trivial, they already know this.

They will back down eventually but there is no magic bullet or wording that will get you then straight away, the clues as to which way they plan to go will be given by the type of letter after a POPLA rejection.

Hi, looking at that parking charge notice, the driver was 11 mins at the parking. 11 mins is De minimis as it is 1 min over the BPA grace period of 10 mins.


Once someone turns into the car park there is no way of backing up into the public road, so the driver must go through the whole carpark before exiting again. The driver was disadvantaged by the tight layout of the car park, the multiple sections needed to be understood and navigated around and the full car park needed to be navigated before exiting. There were also other drivers that wanted to get in and out of the parking spaces.


Thats what i wrote, should i also add the definition of "De minimis"?

I appreciate your help.
