Case Law (Scotland)
Cases heard by higher courts in England are persuasive in Scotland but not binding on a Sheriff Court, Cases heard by the House of Lords are only binding if the case involved a Scottish legal issue.
The legal reference for a Scottish case is University of Edinburgh -v- Daniel Onifade [2005 S.L.T (Sh Ct) 63], heard before Sheriff Principal Iain Macphail QC - and the full legal text can be found at http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/opinions/sc514.html
This case found parking charges issued to be lawful and upheld the charges imposed.
For the avoidance of doubt and to negate question 2 as raised in the appeal, our signge only states "Parking Charge" and therefore the question of misrepresentation is not relevant.
