The law relating to parking on private land without permission from the legal occupier comes under the laws of trespass. Anyone who enters and parks on privately owned property without the permission of the legal occupier will be trespassing on that given piece of land for the duration they are there. If the claimant can prove the trespass has caused the claimant actual loss or damage, he is entitled to receive an amount, which will compensate for that loss. If a claimant can prove that a trespasser has entered and made use of the claimants land without permission, the claimant is lawfully entitled to receive a reasonable level of compensation in the form of damages for that use. A claim can also be made where there is a breach of parking regulations, which are clearly stated on our warning notices.

CONTRACTUAL LAW

By parking and thus ignoring the warning signs the offending motorist has entered into a contractual agreement to pay a Parking Charge. We operate our collection procedures under the administration of justice act 1970.

DVLA CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PRIVATE PARKING ENFORCEMENT:

After we have obtained the registered keepers details from the DVLA, we will not disclose this information just as we will not disclose our client’s details to offenders.
