Group Nexus Parking Charge Cancelled. Evidence Gaps Found

Group Nexus PCN Cancelled. Operator Could Not Prove the Contravention

A motorist received a parking charge notice from Group Nexus alleging they parked without authorisation. The charge was 100 pounds. The motorist believed they had permission to park and used Parking Mate UK to check the notice.

What Parking Mate UK Found

  1. Incomplete Evidence The notice referenced ANPR data but the supporting photographs were low quality. The entry image showed a partial plate and the exit image was timestamped 2 minutes after entry, suggesting the vehicle may have been photographed passing through rather than parking.
  1. No Landowner Authority Documented Group Nexus did not provide evidence that they had authority from the landowner to enforce parking charges at the location. Under contract law, an operator can only issue enforceable charges if they have a valid agreement with the land owner.
  1. Late NTK The notice arrived 16 days after the alleged contravention, outside the POFA 14-day statutory window.

The Result

The appeal challenged all three grounds. Group Nexus cancelled the charge without escalation.

Key Takeaways

  • Group Nexus issues approximately 620 parking charges per day
  • Landowner authority is often assumed but rarely documented. If challenged, operators must prove they have the legal right to enforce
  • Short ANPR observation periods may indicate a drive-through rather than actual parking
