In 2015, The Supreme Court, has unambiguously confirmed that parking charges issued on private land are fully enforceable.
In the case of ParkingEye v Beavis [2015] UKSC 67 their Lordships stated that private parking charges were enforceable because they served a legitimate purpose and were in the interests of the public generally. The case confirmed that the amount of the charge does not have to reflect any loss that might have been caused by breach of the terms and conditions of parking.
The summary to the judgment can be found HERE. The full judgment is also available at HERE.

You are advised to send postal payments by recorded delivery. All payments must be accompanied by the PCN number and the Vehicle Registration Number.
Payments received which are not accompanied by this information will be cashed but the creditor will be unable to allocate the payment to the correct PCN. The Parking Charge Notice will therefore remain unpaid and enforcement action will be taken. This will result in additional costs being incurred.
Failure to pay this charge may result in enforcement action which could include County Court proceedings and which may incur additional costs.
How to complain Please note: If you wish to challenge the validity of a parking charge then you must use the operator’s appeals procedure. Other issues can be dealt with under the complaints procedure.
If you wish to complain to the operator, you MUST complain to the operator directly in the first instance by writing to the UKPE at the address provided to you on the Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
