POFA 2012 (Protection of Freedoms Act 2012)

The statute that lets private parking operators hold the registered keeper liable, not just the driver.

Schedule 4 of this Act sets out strict conditions an operator must meet, correct notice content, correct timing, before they can pursue the keeper rather than only whoever was actually driving. Getting these conditions wrong is a genuine, common basis for a successful appeal.
