Mum fighting over 50p parking ticket wins after five-year legal battle
13.05.2022 - 15:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A mum-of-two who took a car parking company to court over a 50p parking ticket has finally won the legal battle after five years. Janet Smith was issued a parking fine on November 17, 2016, at Closter's car park in Formby Village, Liverpool, spotting the ticket on her windshield after returning from her weekly art group.
Janet claimed the ticket she had purchased to park in the car park had fallen off of the windscreen and onto the dashboard while she had been in her art group and she was subsequently fined £100 by Vehicle Control Services for "not displaying her ticket correctly", Liverpool Echo reports.
Janet said: "I received a letter from them which said as the ticket wasn't displayed correctly upon coming into the car park they said I had entered into a contract and I had breached it. It was a windy day and I was not going to stand around reading a contract before getting a ticket."

She continued: "My argument was am I to stay there for the whole hour to make sure that the ticket does not come off the windscreen it's unreasonable to think that I would. So I appealed."
After two initial appeals were rejected in 2017, Vehicle Control Services then told Janet that she was responsible for her ticket not falling off her windscreen and she would have to pay the £100 fine. She told the Echo: "I thought it was ridiculous so I refused to pay it and by this time the fine had gone up to £160 as they had passed it to their legal team.
"Because it had been passed to them I was told I owed the legal team £60 which was added to my charge which they also said was on the contract in the car park. I just kept refusing to pay
