apart from the name...
A chip shop owner has lost his Court of Appeal challenge over what he claimed were "unfair, unlawful and disproportionate" parking charges.
Barry Beavis, 48, was sent a charge letter for £85 by car park operator ParkingEye after he overstayed a two-hour limit in Chelmsford in April 2013.
ParkingEye argued such charges were "a commercially-justified deterrent".
The Court of Appeal has dismissed the case though Mr Beavis, of Chelmsford, can refer it to the Supreme Court.
The three appeal court judges unanimously dismissed his challenge, saying the amount he was charged "is not extravagant or unconscionable".

Makes you wonder where this is going to end.
I'd prefer to go old school and pay a few quid for parking than be held to ransom.
Mind you, I tend to walk or cycle to these places whenever I can

Bloody hell ...
Either he takes it further with public help or the next govt needs to do something about this.
