Not everyone should be clamping wheels of parked vehicles

Question:

I have a general query relating to the legal position of the Landlord imposing wheel clamping, where tenants or visitors illegally park their vehicles in spaces which are reserved and/ or prohibited for public parking, as well as disabled parking bay.

Please may you shed some light as to what are the legal requirements relating to the money involved – that is fine to be paid by the offender. Is there a cap to how much the fine amount can be?

Answer:

If it is within a private estate and the roads are private the body corporate must decide. If it is a public road that is used by a part of the community the traffic officers must issue fines and not the estate.
