As I understand it, by entering their premises you agree to pay the maximum amount and they then discount for a variety of reasons (time incl).

Interesting, a private company seeking recompense for breach of parking conditions gets told to suck a lemon, govco does the same thing with legal sanction and can put you in jail for non-compliance.

I can't see Wilsons (aka PES) applying to the Supreme Court to recoup a $65 parking fine. The WA Supreme Court (General Division) Filing originating process/Commence Proceedings cost is $1,085. If they lost, Wilsons would be up for this amount plus your court costs and legal fees. Would they risk it? I'm betting not.
Just bung it in the circular file. ![]()

- "Sheriff" does not include Wilson Parking, or any of its staff. - That law also forbids, "(b) cause undue inconvenience to persons other than the debtor." ie the Sheriff must go after the person who parked the car, not the person who owns the car.

What I received back from Wilson Parking:
Thank you for your email, Due to the driver not contacting us after the Notice was issued to either pay the Notice or to lodge an appeal we had no option but to apply to the Supreme Court for permission to obtain the registered owners details so that we could advise them of the outstanding Notice. Once permission from the Supreme Court was obtained we then applied to the Dept. of Transport for that information. Once we had that information we sent a letter to the registered owner. This process takes several months to complete and the registered owner was notified as soon as we were able to do so. Sometimes the driver simply ignores the Notice, other times due to one of several possible reasons the Parking Breach Notice is not on the vehicle when the driver returns and the driver is unaware of the Notice. Parking Breach Notices are issued to the vehicle as we have no way of knowing who was driving at the time. If you lend your vehicle to a friend/family member/business associate it is your responsibility to ensure they deal with any Parking Breach Notices issued. You can nominate a driver by providing a statutory declaration with the name and address of the driver and we will send that driver a letter requesting payment. However, if the driver does not pay it will remain an outstanding Notice against this vehicle. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What I sent back: As I was not in any way responsible for the use of the vehicle at the time, there was no contract of any kind between myself and Wilson Parking. I note that you do not have the statutory authority to impose fines. Accordingly, I make it clear that at no point will I be paying this "parking breach notice". If Wilson Parking takes any action against that vehicle which results in the loss of revenue then I reserve the right to pursue legal action against Wilson Parking for that loss of revenue. Furthermore, Wilson Parking has been negligent in contacting me in a timely manner. Due to this delay the driver is no longer available (he has moved overseas). This delay is solely the fault of Wilson Parking. Details of this matter have been sent to various government organisations, as well as every member of parliament in Western Australia. It will also be published on a dedicated web site in the near future, so that people can be informed of their rights. I also note the lack of name or details of any contact person in your email. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What I received back from Wilson Parking: Nothing. They are not interested in appeals, just blackmail.
