Charges for Parking on Private Property by Dallas McMillan, Solicitors<br />
Commercial car park owners have for years legitimately charged drivers<br />
parking in their car parks. It is a matter of contract: the display signs make<br />
a contractual parking ‘offer’ to drivers, accepted by every driver entering the<br />
car park.<br />
A recent Dundee court case confi rmed that the legal position is very similar<br />
with regard to owners of private property generally. The case concerned<br />
a new private housing development along the Dundee waterfront and a<br />
daughter of the tenant of one fl at which had its own garage but no right in any<br />
parking space. The daughter had no greater parking rights than any ordinary<br />
member of the public. Nonetheless, she repeatedly ignored the numerous<br />
clear parking signs around the development setting out substantial parking<br />
charges, and regularly parked her car in the development.<br />
Eventually the lady was sued £24,500 of parking charges by the factoring<br />
company employed jointly by the development various owners. She argued<br />
that the owners (and therefore the factoring company) had no right to charge<br />
members of the public to park on private land. The court fundamentally<br />
disagreed, and found the lady liable to pay the whole parking charges of<br />
£24,500.<br />
Owners of property can quite legitimately charge members of the public to<br />
park on their land (in a similar way to commercial car park owners) as long<br />
as:-<br />
1. The parking ‘offer’ has been set out in clear terms and displayed<br />
prominently, giving all drivers fair notice of the parking charges they are<br />
accepting by parking.<br />
2. The parking charges are reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances,<br />
rather than clearly excessive or amounting to a penal charge.<br />
All drivers are therefore advised when parking (on public or private land) to<br />
locate and check all display signs, to be aware of the potential substantial<br />
parking charges.<br />
