Smart parking ltd perth

[SRM6077]

I received a parking fine in a small car park in perth, I was slightly late back (5 minutes). The attendant had not yet printed the ticket. I asked if I was too late and he said if I had been 5 minutes earlier he could have let me off. At this point I got on with getting my 1 year old son in the car and putting the pram away. He at no point asked if I or my friend was the driver. He printed the ticket and said "I'll just give that to you" and handed the ticket to my friend. He did not attach the ticket to the car, check who was the driver, or take any pictures. My question is, has he followed his rules?

Private car park or council ?

private I think. I've read that Perth council does employ that company. But the ticket doesn't mention the council at all and the signs in the carpark didn't either.

I've just looked it up online and it's not council.

Hi
As you are in Scotland your best option is to ignore, unless by some chance they try court.
In Scotland they can only proceed against the driver, so under no circumstances do you identify the driver.

Is that right M?

Pretty much.

Keep everything in a file/drawer but ignore anything that's not court papers.

Also a good idea to photograph the signs just in case.

Ok thanks. Yeh I am in Scotland. Is it likely they will go as far as court? I mean if they don't have any photos etc what proof do they have to go on?

Likely, no.

Possible, yes.
