The offer to reduce the amount of the Parking Charge for the first 28 days is not indicative of the fact that it should be considered a penalty and Parking Awareness Services properly offers a 40% discount for 28 days, as per the International Parking Community's (IPC) code of practice.
In addition, as a matter of practicality, there are many commercial situations where a discount is offered for the early settlement of a contractual claim. HHJ Hegarty QC in the case of ParkingEye v Somerfield Stores (2011) stated that this was the case.
The discount amount is offered so that the driver/keeper may close an issued Parking Charge Notice in full, without incurring any further charges or administration.
