Parking Eye Proceeding to Country Claims Court
Hi all,
A few weeks back I asked for help challenging a Parking Eye Claim where the driver (not me) over stayed by a few minutes and subsequently issued with a £100 fine.
Having read the posts on here I challenged them on not being the land owner so didn't have a right to claim and that the fine was disproportionate to the loss.
They've written back citing a recent court case, Parking Eye v. Beavis & Wardley and where the judge found in Parking Eye's favor after taking into account the commercial justification, deterrence and actual loss, the judgement went on to state that Parking Eye are the Operator of the car park so are entitled to file the claim.
Does anyone have any experience on how best to proceed from this point? My initial thinking is to opt for the Small Claims Mediation service and I imagine he'd have to pay out but would like to avoid this or at least minimise the payment
Thanks in advance
