IAS Appeal Dismissed

[marmitex1234]

I have had a reply from IAS dismissing my appeal, part of the reply states "... the code of practice does not bind the Operator."

I of course disagree as the following extracts from the C of P would seem to say that operators must abide by the code.

Page 6 of The Code of Practice states – “The Code is enforceable against its subscribers and includes a scheme of sanctions which can be invoked in instances of non-compliance.”
Page 8 of The Code of Practice states – “2.1 It is a condition of AOS membership that you agree to abide by this Code of Practice and comply with the Independent Appeals Service. It is your duty to be fully appraised with the Code. Unawareness of the terms of the Code or any applicable legal provisions will not be regarded as an excuse for non-compliance.”

I have had a number of letters from the parking company asking me for £100.00 but I have told them I am not paying.

Also the main sign in the car park seems not to comply with the code of practice.



So my question is
In court would my argument that these "people" have not complied with the C of P be enough to get the case dropped?

Re: IAS Appeal Dismissed

The IAS are anti motorist and routinely reject good appeals and one such appeal went to court with the motorist victorious.

I would complain to trading standards and the IPC that they are not adhering to the code of practice.



To answer the question posed, it might help but not always. Hopefully Beavis will be rather more help once the supreme court have decided. If you haven't identified the driver i reckon keeper liability would be your next best bet.
