I thought it might be useful to let people know the outcome of my parking fine appeal with POPLA (parking on private land appeals).
My appeal was successful so I did not have to pay the £60 parking fine that was issued to me.
I was issued a fine parking fine for not paying for parking while using an Instavolt charger in a retail park.
POPLA found in my favour because the parking operator did not prove that they had authority from Instavolt to issue a fine for parking in a bay that was marked as operated by Instavolt.
My advice for anyone in a similar situation is to appeal to POPLA and ask the parking operator to provide evidence from the charging operator that they have the authority to issue a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
Cheers Gareth
