A question about : Is my ticket valid if my company owns the space?

My employer owns a parking space in a car park that is managed by GB Parking Solutions. I didn't yet have a pass and so I got a ticket.

If a ticket is an invoice for breaching the land owner's contract, is this valid if my employer owns the space and gave me permission to park there?

As it happens they've been kicked out of BPA so they can't request my address from the DVLA so I don't intend to pay it but I'd rather do it correctly if possible.

Any advice?

Thanks very much!

Best answers:

  • I don't know if this lot have joined the IPC, but the best thing to do is do nothing but sit tight and wait for any NtK.
    If they don't have access to the DVLA due to not being a member of any ATA, then you won't get one as they will have no name and address for service.
    Certainly don't contact them at all unless you get one.
  • Getting kicked out of the BPA takes some doing, so that gives you an idea of how utterly inept GB Parking Solutions (AKA Shamsar Singh) must be.
    They are not in the IPC. One of the few things the DVLA has managed to get right is ensuring that sanction points imposed by one ATA are carried over to the other if the PPC jumps acroass, so having being thrown out of the BPA, presumably GB Parking Solutions cannot join the IPC.
    So just ignore them, there's nothing they can do.
    Did your employer engage GB Parking Solutions, or does some landlord or managing agent have them infesting the car park as a whole? If the latter, and your employer really is the owner or leaseholder of the parking space, then your employer needs to tell Shamshar Singh, and whoever employed him, to keep off of their parking space.

    Just like this chap did

  • Thanks for the super quick advice.
    The building management company contracted with them. We own the space in the car park that is shared with apartments and other businesses.
  • So no contract with the owners of the land, I think there is a law against that
  • They definitely own the spaces, they were bought with the premises. They'll be leasehold rather than freehold but it still raises an interesting question of whether they can do anything because the building manager contracted with them and the owner of the space didn't.
    All that aside, you're right. They can't get my address so I'll just ignore it.
