Concern over predatory parking companies after a man got a ticket for being in a park for eight seconds.

Christchurch man Bailey Smith won his case in the Disputes Tribunal, for the 95 dollar parking ticket.

Smith says he pulled into the Kauri Street car park and then reversed out again within eight seconds, when he realised it was private.

NZ Parking Association Chairman Mike Kelly told Heather du Plessis-Allan operators should be transparent with their rules.

He says as soon as you enter a private car park you enter a contract, but it has to be fair and reasonable.
