Precisely. Without a contractual offer, the claim would have to be for trespass, which can only be pursued by the landowner.
In regards to the company paying, I haven't informed them yet, that's tomorrow's job. But we got another Parking Charge Notice for this site last week, the vehicle stopped for 4 minutes and 15 seconds, our dashcam still images show there was a vehicle ahead that our vehicle was queueing behind waiting to access this Oakleaf Recycling site. I appealed that last week. And as we deliver there fairly regularly these are likely to keep coming.
The Company will likely want try and pass the charge onto the driver, but I wont let them, as the driver is literally just doing their job, driving to the site they are told to go to, and tipping. The Company won't be happy about that, but if they are making the decision to pay a bogus charge, then they are accepting liability themselves. When it starts hitting them in the pocket they may finally decide to stop being scammed.
But more likely, they will either add charges to the site we deliver to or stop delivering to the site entirely, because they can I guess.
Of course, by paying it the Company are letting LPS know we will back down and pay, so there is no reason for them to accept the latest appeal, as they know they will get paid. There is nothing to discourage them from rejecting any appeal as they can breach the Code, ignore the law, and there is sweet FA any one can do about it lol.
But ultimately the Company is repeatedly paying me to waste my time appealing for something they are going to pay anyway. It makes sense if we get one or two parking charges a month, from a business perspective. But we get like a dozen a week and most are nonsense charges from places we are delivering.
Maybe this time they will listen, but I wouldn't count on it
