Keeper Was Not the Driver. Keeper Liability Defence

For cases where the registered keeper was not driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged contravention. Challenges the operator's right to pursue the keeper, includes an optional ground for where you were not even the keeper at the time (car lent out, sold but not yet re-registered, the paragraph 2(1) presumption is rebuttable), and confirms there is no civil obligation to identify the driver to a private parking company.

PRIVATE PARKING CHARGE NOTICES ON PRIVATE LAND ONLY.

NOT for council PCNs (TMA 2004): NOT for TfL penalties. NOT for Police notices.

NOT for speeding NIPs or any offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 s.172

(where a legal obligation to identify the driver DOES exist).

This letter applies to registered land where POFA 2012 Schedule 4 applies.

For airport, port, or ferry terminal land, use the Airport/Byelaw

Land template instead. National Rail station car parks are NOT byelaw

land for this purpose. The law changed on 26 December 2025 and POFA

Schedule 4 now applies there, so this letter is the correct one.
