Discover the £2,075 Lesson: UK Parking Control Limited's Costly Mistake

Failing to specify the parking period correctly and misinterpreting the 28-day statutory period cost UK Parking Control Limited a whopping £2,075 in court fees. In a recent case before the County Court at Herford, a claim of £288 ended up costing UK Parking Control Limited a staggering £2,075.

In a nutshell, UK Parking Control Limited pursued a claim against our client for an unpaid parking ticket. Upon reviewing the evidence, it became evident that the notice to the keeper did not comply with Schedule 4 para 8(a) of the Protection of Freedoms Act (POFA) and improperly shortened the 28-day period starting from the date after the Notice was served.

We advised our client to file an application for summary judgment and strike out. With the expertise of our solicitor partners at Lawrence and Associates, and representation by Jackson Yamba, our client succeeded in her application. As a result, they were awarded costs totaling £2,057.
