Court grants permission to appeal parking judgements

The Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal its judgment on the recoverability of penalty charges imposed by a private car park operator upon those who overstay a limited period of free parking.

The original judgment was in favour of the respondent, ParkingEye Ltd, against the appellant, Barry Beavis, on its claim to recover a charge of £85 for overstaying the permitted period of free parking in the car park at the Riverside Retail Park in Chelmsford.
