<p>The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 grants keeper liability for vehicles, allowing
landowners and parking operators to pursue the registered keeper of a vehicle for
breaches of contract related to parking. Private parking companies must be a member
of a trade association if they wish to access DVLA data in order to issue parking
charges to vehicle owners. The two parking trade associations, the British Parking
Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC), have their own codes
of practice and appeal procedures to which they expect their members to adhere. If
a private parking company does not follow these codes responsibly, they risk being
banned from accessing DVLA data and will be unable to issue parking charges.</p>
