Disabled bays in private car parks have NO legal standing. Asda or the company operating the car pack could give them a ticket but i'd never stand up.
Still out of order though, would send it to the cops.... (and expect a letter back saying "it was an emergency - the stations stock of doughnuts had run out"

I have no issue with there actually being parent and child bays, I understand why there is a need for them. I just don't understand why they have to take up so many of the spaces right outside the store. Why not put them at the far end of the carpark where there is plenty of space. That way you could have a double width space and theres little danger from passing traffic.gdavies said:
Disabled spaces are where they are because disabled people might have trouble walking long distances....... parents and child didn't last time I looked (else they would be in the disabled spaces).

I really understand your concerns francis, I think they just don't bother because they know the tickets have no legal standing.Francis said:
Same as if you get a ticket for staying over two hours in Asda or Tesco, just ignore it as it wouldn't stand up in court and they know it. They just rely on peoples conformity to pay them.

oh my god, you are making perfect sense, i can't believe i never thought of it like that! i've never had a problem with parent & child bays, and always thought "fair enough, let 'em have 'em," but it really would make more sense if they operated in the way you have suggested..gk141054 said:

They do have some standing, but not the same as a fixed penalty noticed issued by a traffic warden in a public car park or on the highway which are issued in accordance with the Road Traffic Act and so on.gk141054 said:
On private car parks, tickets issued are based on contract law that when you enter a car park the driver enters into a contract with the car park owner or their agent, as per any terms they put up on a notice. If you breach the terms they issue a ticket. Where it could get difficult for them is that you are not required to divulge who the driver was - though if they happen to have proof (CCTV, whatever) they could pursue you through the small claims court on breach of contract.
