The contract appears to be between the British Parking Association and London Councils Transport and Environment Committee.
The Prankster has been informed that a committee is not a legal entity which can enter into a contract. If this is correct, then no contract actually exists.
Obviously this will further muddy the waters.
Happy Parking

Remember that this contract was only made on 23 December 2013. So only 15 months after POPLA was set up.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't it be 'British Parking Association LTD'?
ReplyDeleteMy bad, there's no 'Ltd'.
