Is this legit and can it be enforced/acted on?

It's be a bit stupid.

Prior written consent would be the signs in the area the car is parked.

So, if I ticket was attached to the car it would be meeting the requirments of the mandate on the car, also, as the note on the car says, not seeing the signs is not an excuse

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.

The guy who got the ticket took it on the chin anyway which is good but at least I know for the future.

Nothing personal.

But I hope he filed your ticket in the nearest rubbish bin. You know they are unenforceable and rely on the recipient being either gullible or ignorant of the law. I guess with his own screen sticker he knows his rights anyway.

I honestly could summon up a f*ck to give about what people do with their tickets after I issue them. I have a job to do, so I do it. As long as I'm getting paid to give out meaningless pieces of paper, I'll give out meaningless pieces of paper.

To give out a (private) parking ticket, you must have notice of the contractual terms at the time of contracting.

This is generally when you have purchased a ticket, or at a barrier control parked (where you take a ticket) it is when you take the ticket from the machine.

Any terms not clear at that point, generally, are unenforceable in law because you have to have 'proper notice' at the time, or before contracting.

If the signs are hidden, then they can quite successfully argue that there was no contract and so the ticket is unenforceable.

In this case, the same would apply, not having proper notice of it would be one way to make that sign invalid. The other would be that you would quite clearly have no intention to create legal relations in that way, although I'd stick with the lack of notice ;)

I've got one of these "demands" on the go at the moment. Apparently the ANPR system at a motorway services reckons I was in there for three hours when I'm only supposed to be there for two. Each letter gets more and more threatening towards legal action against me, the latest is warning me that any court finding will affect my ability to get credit.... Bring it on, I can't wait.

Red Herring I can beat you on that. I managed to get a parking ticket in my own space outside my flat. I'm currently fighting the charge. They have very little power, and it's not worth taking you to court in any case.

Re: Any org lawyers
 

I know, real shame really given what I know about ANPR systems...... I was so looking forward to it.

The only tickets that are enforceable 'by law' are issued by traffic wardens or police officers. All the rest are not enforceable. Ignore and they'll go away.
