Excel Parking (Stockport)

When I went shopping yesterday I saw the following board which states that they will issue parking charge notices for failure to clearly display a DVLA vehicle license disc.

 

Question: Can they do that?

Generally speaking there is nothing to stop a person seeking to impose lawful contractual conditions. They do need to be reasonable. I do not see how this could in itself be unreasonable as really all it is doing is requiring that vehicles comply with a particular law, unless it was enforced against foreign registered vehicles.

 

However, this is to presuppose that all of the other elements required to form a contract are in place and the charges are not in reality unlawful penalties.

Reading it, that was my first concern. by EU law no member country can allow prioritisation of their citizens over any others. think the Olympic ticket fiasco. Surely Trading Standards would have to prosecute or order them to amend their signs.

But is it any of their business to "enforce" the law by issuing a joke invoice? Anyway I notice they don't say a VALID disc. Might be worth parking there with an old one on display.......

But can you really make a contract to not display a tax disc?

on private land NO

What's the contractual offer from Excel though?
