ABOUT IAS
Who is the IAS?
The Independent Appeals Service (IAS) is a certified Alternative Dispute Resolution entity pursuant to the European Directive on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) (2013/11/EU). It was created to provide a truly independent review on the lawfulness of parking charges that are imposed by private companies. Adjudicators have no links or relationships with parking companies in any capacity. The IAS deals with appeals on parking charges issued by members of the International Parking Community (IPC). If the parking charge you wish to appeal was issued by a member of the BPA, please appeal via POPLA.
The relationship between the IAS and IPC
The IAS provides appeals for IPC Accredited Operators. The IPC have no involvement in the adjudication decisions. This is made by independent solicitors and barristers.
Our adjudicators
The Adjudicators are all qualified solicitors or barristers. They are duty bound by their own professional standards bodies to uphold the rule of law and to maintain independence. This duty is expressly retained in the terms and conditions of their appointment. Adjudicators have no links or relationships with parking companies in any capacity.
