The Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal its judgment on the recoverability of penalty charges imposed by a private car park operator upon those who overstay a limited period of free parking.
The original judgment was in favour of the respondent, ParkingEye Ltd, against the appellant, Barry Beavis, on its claim to recover a charge of £85 for overstaying the permitted period of free parking in the car park at the Riverside Retail Park in Chelmsford.
The Supreme Court will hear Mr Beavis’s appeal alongside that of Cavendish Square Holding BV v Talal El Makdessi, which also involves the enforceability of penalty clauses in contracts. The hearings will begin on 21 July.
