Road Traffic (Administration) Act 2008

In this section —

a police officer;

the owner or person in possession of the land;

an employee of the owner or person in possession of the land;

A person must not, within a prescribed area, park a vehicle on land which is not a road, unless the person is authorised to do so by the owner or person in possession of the land.

An authorised person may direct the driver or person in charge of a vehicle parked contrary to subsection (2) to remove the vehicle from the place where it is parked if the vehicle is causing or is likely to cause an obstruction or danger to traffic.

A person to whom a direction is given under subsection (3) must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to comply with the direction.

If no person appears to be in immediate charge of a vehicle mentioned in subsection (2), an authorised person may remove the vehicle from the place where it is parked and if the person does so the person must move the vehicle either to a place where the parking of vehicles is permitted or to the police station nearest to the land.

An authorised person who under subsection (5) removes and parks a vehicle, must forthwith give particulars to a police officer at the police station nearest to the place where the authorised person has parked the vehicle, of his or her name and address, the registered number of the vehicle, the place where he or she parked the vehicle, and the time that the vehicle was removed.

A person who incurs costs in removing a vehicle under subsection (5) may recover the costs in a court of competent jurisdiction from the person who parked the vehicle as mentioned in subsection (2).
