What we know
Rarely concedes at Stage 1. Often loses at POPLA on signage grounds.
Common defense grounds against ParkingEye
Inadequate signage — driver's perspective
Notorious for small text on entrance signs at high-volume retail sites
POFA 2012 non-compliance — keeper liability
High volume operator — occasionally misses 14-day window on busy sites
Grace period violation
High volume ANPR. Grace period violations common at supermarket sites.
Genuine customer exemption
Manages many retail/supermarket sites. Genuine customer defense strong at POPLA for ParkingEye cases.
ANPR timestamp error
High-volume ANPR. Occasionally captures entry but misses legitimate exit.
Excessive charge — disproportionate penalty
Standard £100 (£60 discounted). Beavis established this is generally proportionate for commercial sites. Weaker defense post-Beavis.
