ParkingEye vs Beavis Supreme Court Decision

 The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal in the ParkingEye v Barry Beavis case. Read the Full Judgement from the UK Supreme Court.

The BPA welcomes the decision which provides clarity on the use of contract law for parking on private land.  The ruling supported the view of the Court of Appeal judges in April this year and that of Judge Moloney that the charge should be an effective deterrent.

The judgment confirms that the current charging level is lawful and reasonable and motorists parking on private land must comply with the advertised terms and conditions. The Supreme Court effectively concludes that the BPA’s Code of Practice for parking on private land is a good and fair model.
