A TORT notice is a legal document giving the owner of a vehicle 'reasonable time' to collect the vehicle. During that time, it is unlawful for the bailiee (ie the person whos property the vehicle is on) to intefere or dispose of the vehicle.

If a vehicle is abandoned/untaxed and all reasonable efforts to get the owner to move it fail, all you need to do is contact us and we will issue a TORT notice, remove, store and dispose of the vehicle following legislation within (Interference with Goods) Act 1977.

Things which would indicate a vehicle was abandoned are:

• If the vehicle untaxed
• If there are any of the tyres flat or have any of the wheels been removed.
• The windscreen or any of the windows broken
• There any mould on either the inside or outside of the vehicle?
• If the vehicle contains rubbish
• There is rubbish under the vehicle, indicating that it has not moved for some time
• The vehicle doesn't have number plates
• The vehicle has been vandalised
• The tenant of the parking space has stopped paying for the bay, and the car is no longer in use
• The vehicle is covered in dust (underground carpark)
