Parking Penalties are OK

Upon re reading I think I should have titled this as Parking Charges are OK and that the £85 charge is reasonable.

I'd imagine that just so long as the charges are roughly in line with what local authorities are charging for overstaying, I can't really see how any such appeal could possibly succeed.

Further, the charge was neither extravagant nor unconscionable, having regard to practice around the United Kingdom, and taking into account the use of this particular car park and the clear wording of the notices [100-101].

To repeat "practice around the United Kingdom"

So that with all due respect, both Beavis

"It has decided these charges are allowed because they are not excessive - so what is excessive?

and Steve Gooding, director of motoring charity RAC Foundation, .....said judges had not given any clear direction on what figure would be excessive.
