Taking a purposive applroach to interpretation of the PoFA, I'm
struggling to see how listing observation times, which is all
that a warden will have, does not specify the period of parking
because it does not treat "period of parking" as a term of art,
and refer to the times given as a "period of parking".
Logically, as Parliament legislated both for ANPR and warden
enforcement, where an NtD is issued they could not have expected
the PPC to specify the exact times or arrival and departure or
the duration of parking, but merely to specify to which parking
event the ticket refers. Arguably the warden would not be able
to state with absolute certainty that the vehicle did not move
between 21:59 and 22:15, but if it was parked in the same space
16 minutes later, you, me the RK and a judge can all make a
reasonable assumption, absent any credible evidence to the
contrary.
