    Hi all,

    Just wondering about these signs and what legality they have.

    My Dad used to always say that the car park are liable for your car once you pay them to park in it.

    This doesn't have any truth to it does it? I mean, it would probably open huge floodgates due to most towns having pay parking on the streets now, so could people not argue that the State has to be liable for your car if it is damaged....I always wondered about this and I am too lazy to go researching it myself so please can someone shed some light on this area.

    No the once the car park states this they have no legal responsibility towards your car.

    I had another little read up about it and a little think and I suppose it is fair enough. Sure if you are renting a place and your belongings are damaged the landlord cannot be held liable.

    Not necessarily true at all.

    A car park can readily be found liable for damage.

    This is like an FE1 type question I imagine, dealing with matters such as incorporation and unfair terms in consumer contracts etc.

    It is of course conversely possible that such disclaimers are more than reasonable and then the risk will lie with the consumer.

    You cannot assume that just because the sign is there that a carpark cannot be held liable.
