jamamafegan Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I love the “we are surprised” shtick. They’re trying to make you think that what you are doing is out of the ordinary and make you feel uncomfortable. Keep ignoring them. IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Just saw a sign that said "Free parking and turning area". Brilliant. Not only can you park your car for nothing, they don't even charge you for turning it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to have zero contact with them, acknowledging that they exist gets them frisky and they do occasionally pick someone to take to court to encourage others to pay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no criminal offence of trespass in Scotland but there is a delict of trespass. Private organisations can and do set contracts for parking on private land and the courts enforce these contracts. Nobody can impose a contract on anybody but you can enter into a contract through your actions. Section 20 Firearms act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Ok I didn't realise it was a criminal law exam. There is no general criminal offence of trespass in Scotland but there are specific offences of criminal trespass and a general delict. That will save folk looking up the Military Lands Act 1892 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I actually succeeded with an appeal on one of these at the first attempt. They'd photographic evidence of me entering the Range car park at 18.30 on a Thursday and leaving at 13.30 on the Friday and thus exceeding the two hour maximum. I just explained that these were two separate visits. Kind of feel like i shouldn't have even bothered doing that much but on the other hand i'm not worrying about it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Not a parking fine question but this seems as good a thread as any. Car was broken into while in a private car park on Tuesday/Wednesday with three windows smashed, a couple of bags taken and our belongings chucked all over the ground. Usual signs up about car park owners have no liability etc so no chance of claiming anything off them. There are signs up (that I've taken photos of) saying the car park is monitored by CCTV - but when my wife emailed them asking about the footage she was told the car park isn't covered by CCTV, despite them claiming otherwise. Given they've lied and I wouldn't have parked there if I'd known there were no cameras, is there anything I can do? I've reported them to trading standards for all the difference that will make, but would be nice if there was a chance of claiming back some of the cost of my new windows. I've tried Googling but everything is more focussed towards parking fines etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I wouldn't have thought so. You might have decided for yourself that the provision of CCTV was a service being provided and formed part of your contract but I don't see any way of you being able to evidence that the operator also believed that this was an integral part of the contract. Even if there was they wouldn't have a duty of care to keep your car and belongings safe. Their duty is to provide a place to leave your car unless specifically stated that you were also paying for the safety and security of your car and belongings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
