I’ve received a fine for spending ~20 minutes in a car park (Smart Parking) that was completely gridlocked. I entered, got stuck in gridlocked traffic, and left as soon as possible ~20 minutes later - I didn’t park my car because as you can tell, there was no space. It feels like they’re charging me for a service that they were unable to provide.
I appealed with Smart Parking and unsurprisingly, they’ve rejected it. They’ve whipped out all the Ts & Cs of Section As and Paragraph Cs and all of that. As I understand it, I’ve made a rookie error of admitting I was the driver but I’m past the point of getting the discounted fee, so there’s no harm in appealing further. I’ll have to pay £100 either way at this point.
Any of you legal folk have any Section As and Paragraph Cs that I could use in my appeal to POPLA?
Many thanks
