No Evidence of Landowner Authority

The parking operator must have authority from the landowner to manage parking and issue charges. Challenge if this authority is not demonstrated.

Legal basis

Contract law - operator must prove authority to act; POFA 2012 requirement for 'relevant land'.

How to identify this in your case

Request proof of authority/contract between operator and landowner.

Sample appeal wording

Please provide documentary evidence of the parking operator's authority from the landowner to: 1. Manage parking at this location 2. Issue parking charge notices 3. Pursue keeper liability under POFA 2012 Without valid authority from the person entitled to possession of the land, the operator has no standing to enforce any alleged contract or pursue trespass damages. I request sight of the land management contract or equivalent documentation.
