Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the parking fee because the plaintiff could not locate a payment machine despite a thorough search and clear signage directing them there. The plaintiff's spouse testified that they searched for 10-15 minutes on Heimdalsgade and adjacent streets without finding a machine, which the court accepted as credible. Consequently, the court ruled that the signage was inadequate and the fee was not correctly imposed.

Sag om, hvorvidt en parkeringsafgift var korrekt pålagt, da skyldner ikke kunne finde en p-automat, og at skiltning, om hvor en p-automat fandtes, ikke var fyldestgørende.

[DOKUMENT] Afgørelse (1 sider) Retten i Lyngby

Den 7. februar 2018 kl. 13:00 blev fogedretten sat Tingstedet af Dommer .

Der blev foretaget FS 350-6985/2017

SKAT, Indddrivelse Postboks 49 4930 Maribo mod Klager Adresse By

Ingen indkaldt eller mødt.

Der afsagdes sålydende

Kendelse

Sagen drejer om en parkeringsafgift.

Klagerens ægtefælle, Vidne 1 , der foretog den omhandlede parkering har forklaret, at han udmærket godt havde set det blå skilt med teksten ”P-betalingszone. Se tekst på P-automat". Han prøvede herefter forgæves i omkring 10- 15 minutter, at finde en p-automat. Selv om han ledte på såvel Heimdalsgade som de to gader Heimdalsgade støder op til, nemlig Mimersgade og Nørrebrogade, lykkedes det ikke at finde en p-automat. Det må lægges til grund, at den nærmeste p-automat stod i Ole Jørgensens gade et stykke nede af gaden og ikke på hjørnet til Mimersgade. Der er derfor ikke grundlag for at betvivle forklaringen. Fogedretten finder under disse omstændigheder, og herunder navnlig da der på ingen måde i Heimdalsgade er skiltet med hvor der forefindes pautomater, ikke at skiltningen er fyldestgørende. Der gives derfor klageren ret i, at der ikke burde være pålagt en p-afgift.

Thi bestemmes:

Parkeringsafgiften er ikke korrekt pålagt.

Sagen sluttet.

Fogedretten hævet.
