ParkingEye v Bowen

[bananas22]

For 'private' PCNs (as opposed to penalty Notices), parking companies have up to 6 years in which to issue proceedings in E/W (5 in Scotland). Many people have fallen foul in thinking that the issue was dead, only to be hit with a letter before claim (or in some instances, straight to the issue of a county court claim) many years after having binned all their paperwork on the matter.

Point taken. If a claim is launched after years of inaction is there any onus on the claimant to explain the delay ?

Possibly.
