Penalty Ticket for going in the wrong lane at Gatwick Airport!
DIR By: Firestone

---------------------------------------------------------
I am just writing this on behalf of my very busy sister who is
not a member and doesn't know how to appeal and challenge these
things.
She got a NCP automatic penalty just for going in the wrong
place at Gatwick airport as a result of being lost whilst trying
to leave. She had actually legitimately paid for parking
elsewhere whilst she went away for a few days. She hadn't even
stopped to drop someone off! Date, 17th August.
Some very kind advice sought as to how this can be defended.
Very Unfair. They're private tickets?

> I am the registered keeper. NCP cannot hold a registered
keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land that is
under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, NCP will
be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because
Gatwick Airport is not 'relevant land'.
>
> If Gatwick Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable
under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift
and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not
pleaded, it is also not legally possible because NCP is not the
Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never
attempts to be a penalty. It is created for NCP's own profit (as
opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse) and
NCP has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the
driver only.
>
> The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation
of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable.
NCP have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

Whilst you can do this for your busy sister, it cannot be done
lon her behalf”. Just do it all in her name.
The above appeal wording will get this cancelled as long as the
driver is not identified. Ther is no legal obligation on the
Keeper to identify the driver to an unregulated private parking
firm.
Make sure you do not select any options when using their appeal
portal that admits the Keeper is also the driver. Only select
options that the appellant is the keeper or “other”

Thank-you for this. We'll try and do this online which is what
the PCN recommends.

It will be cancelled. However, should they try a phishing
exercise by asking for the drivers detail before they can make a
decision, simply respond with:
