Whatever, there is no legal basis for imposing a £90.00 charge. In
England a private company cannot impose penalties of their own
(whatever next?), they can only make a charge for carrying out a
service they deliver under a freely negotiated contract, but no such
contract exists. A contract is not established merely by one party
sticking a notice up on a lamp post..

I agree with the penalty charge point, but a contract can be entered into by
a company putting up a clear, legible and prominent notice, you reading it
and then you taking an action that implies accepting its terms, like parking
underneath it.

If these sort of contracts were not legal then the clamping companies would
not be the profitable organisations they are in England today.
