WITNESS STATEMENT OF ASHLEY COHEN

l Ashley Cohen of Civil Enforcement Limited, Horton House, Exchange Flagsl Liverpool, L2 3PF (”the

Claimant"), say as follows:

1. I am duly authorised by the Claimant and make this statement in support of the claim brought

against Paul Fisher ("the Defendant").

2. As set out in the full Particulars of Claim, at all material times the Claimant had the right to
manage the car park METRO INN, BIRMINGHAM ROAD, WALSALL, WSS 3A8 (“the Car Park”).

3. The Claimant uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition ("ANPR") cameras within the Car

Park, which work by capturing images of the text displayed on a vehicle's number plate.

4. The Claimant's ANPR cameras recorded the Defendant's vehicle arriving and leaving the Car
Park at the times set out in the full Particulars of Claim. There are many clear and visible signs
in the Car Park advising drivers of the terms and conditions of use, and drivers are permitted
to park (in said Car Park) in accordance with the terms displayed on the signage. These signs

constitute an offer by the Claimant to enter into a contract with drivers.

Page 1 of 5
IN THE COUNTY COURT AT WALSALL CLAIM NO: E4GM43J1

The nature of the relationship between the Claimant and the Defendant is contractual. The

car park is private land, and consequently drivers require permission before parking on the

land. The Claimant granted permission by way of making a unilateral offer on their signs which
are displayed in the car parks.

At all material times, there were many signs displayed in the Car Park which explained the
terms and conditions of parking. These signs were clear and visible for all drivers to see, and

the Car Park had sufficient lighting and warnings for the Defendant to have acknowledged the

signs. Please see attached, Exhibit 1 (copy of sign). It is abundantly clear that the contract
terms relating to charges are a core term.

We refer the court to Lord Justice Roch's ratio in Vine v Waltham Forest London Borough

Council [ZOOOI 4 All ER 169 In which he stated that:

"the presence of notices which are posted where they are bound to be seen, for example at the

entrance to a private car park, which are of a type which the car driver would be bound to

have read, will lead to a finding that the car driver had knowledge of and appreciated the
warning".

The Claimant manages car parks authorising drivers to park at the site on a contractual basis,

and the amount sought at the Parking Charge Notice (”PCN") level is a term of contract,

optioned by the Defendant's conduct (as described in previous paragraphs).

Following the Supreme Court Judgement handed down in the matter of ParkingEye Ltd v

Beavls |2015| UKSC 67, it would be erroneous to conclude that the sum claimed must be a

genuine pre-estimation of loss, as the Judgment has established the following:

”... the charge does not contravene the penalty rule, or the Unfair Terms in

Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.”

10. We submit that the charge does not cause a significant imbalance of the parties’ rights and
obligations arising under the contract. Furthermore, Lord Neuberger and Lord Sumption
asserted the following in the above Supreme Court Judgment:

”Any imbalance in the parties’ rights did not arise 'contrary to the requiremen ts of

goodfaith’, because ParkingEye and the owners had a legitimate interest In inducing

Page 2 of 5
IN THE COUNTY COURT AT WALSALL CLAIM NO: E4GM4311

Mr Beavis not to averstay in order to efflcien tly manage the car parkfor the benefit

of the generality of users of the retail outlets. ”

11. This Judgment delivers much needed clarity to motorists, landowners and the parking

industry, and is binding upon the Small Claims Court, the High Court and any Independent
Appeals Service.

12. The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 ("UTCCR") also provides that,
where terms of a contract have not been individually negotiated, as is the case here, there is
a requirement that those terms be fair. However, the assessment of fairness of a term does
not apply to the 'core terms' of the contract including the "... adequacy of the price or

remuneration, as against the goods 0r services supplied in exchange” (Regulation 6(2)).

UTCCR also requires that the contract terms be in plain and intelligible language (Regulation

7).

13. The Defendant parked her vehicle, registration P77COM (”the Vehicle"), in the Car Park on
25/07/2017, and failed to obtain a permit. The Defendant arrived at 13:19 and departed at

14:37 (total duration of stay 1 hour and 18 minutes), which is further confirmed by the

photographs captured by our ANPR cameras, 3 copy of which has been attached (Exhibit 2).

Please find attached a copy of the Report of the vehicles registered for the day in question, as

a proof that the Defendant failed to register in order to obtain a permit (Exhibit 3).

14. There were many clear, and visible signs in the Car Park, as can be seen from the site plan and
attached photographs of signs in the Car Park (Exhibit 4). which state the following:

”Permit holders only. All visitors must registerfor a permit on a touch screen inside reception

- If you breach any of the above terms you will be charged £100. These terms apply at all

times. Additional costs/recovery charges will be incurred ifpayment is not received within 28

days.”

15. The Claimant sent the Defendant a PCN requesting payment on 27/07/2017 (Exhibit 5), and
a Reminder on 01/09/2017 (Exhibit 6), however, no response was received. As a result of the
Defendant's non-payment of the debt, the Claimant (directly/through its agents) was left with
no alternative but to escalate the matter. This further increased the amount owed, in
accordance with the terms of parking (please see Exhibit 1), which state:

”Additional costs/recovery charges will be incurred if payment is not received within 28 days”.

Page 3 of 5
IN THE COUNTY COURT AT WALSALL CLAIM NO: E4GM4311

16. The PCN (Notice to Keeper) was issued under Schedule 4 of Protection of Freedoms Act

("POFA”) 2012 (Exhibit 5), contrary to the Defendant's assertions in his Defence. In

accordance with Schedule 4.4(1), the creditor (Civil Enforcement Ltd), has the right to recover

any unpaid parking charges from the keeper of the Vehicle (the Defendant), as long as the

conditions set out in Schedule 4.9 of POFA (which deals specifically with notices sent by post

after the date of violation to the registered keeper, as is the case here) are met.

17. The Defendant was informed in the PCN that the driver's name and address was not known,

and he was invited to provide us with the name and current address of the driver within 28
days (Sch.4 S.9(2)(e)). The Defendant was also informed that failure to do so would result in

her being held liable, as the registered keeper of the Vehicle, in accordance with (Sch.4

S.9(2)(f1). As the PCN was sent to the Defendant on 27/07/2017 and was, therefore, served

within 14 days of the violation (as per Sch.4 59(5)), and the Defendant failed to

respond/inform us of who the driver was, he became liable for the sum awed as the registered

keeper of the Vehicle.

18. Regarding Defendant's statement that the signage was deficient, please note that the signage
is placed at around 7 feet off the ground in order to deter vandalism, damage or injury, while

remaining easily legible. We also refer to the following statement made by the British Parking

Association, which advises all motorists:

”Regardless of whether they park in private car parks, Council car parks or on—street, motorists

should always park properly and always check any signage displayed to make sure they know

and understand the rules that apply. This is especially so if they are visiting for the first time -

in order to acquaint themselves with the prevailing Terms & Conditions for parking."

Drivers have an obligation to check for signage when parking on private land — the signs do
not need to be placed directly in the position where they parked, they simply must be placed

throughout the site so that drivers are given the chance to read them (BPA Code of Practice,

18.3).

19. Please be advised that we can provide a copy of the contract in a hearing, as this is strictly

confidential between parties.

Page 4 of5
IN THE COUNTY COURT AT WALSALL CLAIM N0: E4GM43J1

20. The address in our system, 210 WDLVERHAMPTON ROAD, PELSALL, WALSALL. W53 4AQ
was provided to the Claimant by the DVLA on 25/07/2017. The Defendant confirmed his

correspondence with the ZZPS (Debt Recovery company, instructed by us). The Debt

Recovery com pany sent all of their previous correspondence to the same address provided

to us by the DVLA 25/07/2017, as a proof please find attached a copy ofthe first letter sent
to the Defendant on 24/10/2017 {Exhibit 7).

21. A Notice to Keeper (Parking Charge) was sent by the Claimant on 27/07/2017 (Exhibit 5},

despite Defendant's assertion that the Claimant sent the first letter 105 days after the

alleged incident. The Defendant failed to contact Civil Enforcement in order to ask for any

photographic evidence (Evidence Pack].

22. The Claimant has been compelled to incur unnecessary legal costs in pursuing this debt and

we request an order for costs, in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules, to be awarded
in favour of the Claimant.
