LPS - Parking Charge - Permit Holder - Amazon Flex Delivery
DIR By: Spleegem

---------------------------------------------------------
I work as a self employed driver for Amazon Flex using my car
which I lease to work. On 24th February one of my stops was to
an address in Grove park se12. As per attached screen shot the
delivery was to 8 pallman mews.
Upon turning into pallman mews the resident of 8 pallman mews
was standing at the end of the road and flagged me down as the
parcel belongs to him, you see the customer in the pictures
provided on the parking charge
As the road has double yellow lines and i didnt want to block
the road I turned into a nearby parking space to which I
proceeded to hand the parcel to the customer after confirming
his name. After this I proceeded to deliver on the rest of my
route.
The whole altercation was less than 3 minutes. A parking charge
was sent to the leasing company on 6th March who then provided
my details to LPS. I received a parking ticket in my name on
24th March and proceeded to appeal the parking charge on the
grounds that I was engaged in the act of making a delivery at
the time of the alleged contravention. The stop was necessary,
brief, and directly related to a scheduled delivery to a
resident of that very address, The vehicle was stationary for
fewer than three minutes. This was not a case of unauthorised
parking; it was a momentary stop to complete a legitimate
commercial delivery.
My appeal was rejected. I have attached the response from London
parking solutions.
Do I have any chance of winning an appeal with IAS or taking
this to court? £100 is steep for being stationed for 2-3 minutes

You're almost guaranteed a rejection from the IAS. This is
standard operating procedure. They say they're independent,
they're not.
1. Loading/Unloading is not considered parking according to
Jopson v Homeguard (2016)

2. The Notice to Hirer (NTH) does not meet the strict
requirements of POFA. Namely, there's no period of parking.
3. Please check if you have received the following along with
the NTH, as I'm pretty sure you haven't:
A statement that the vehicle was hired by you, a copy of the
hire agreement and a copy of a statement of liability (As
required by POFA 14(2))
4. There was no mandatory consideration/grace period granted.
There's probably other things that are wrong, but these already
caught my eye.

Thanks for your reply
I did not recieve any additional documents with the NTH, is this
due to the car being leased rather than a hire?
What would be the next step, highlighting the findings you have
shared in an appeal to IAS?

Did you admit that you were driving in your appeal?
