I saw mention of changes to the law elsewhere so did a bit of research.
Long overdue clarification of the law dealing with parking on private land comes into force next Monday with the implementation of The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, specifically Part 3 Chapter 2 (SS 54-56 and Schedule 4). In addition to dealing with "cowboy clampers" the Act gives landowners legal powers to recover parking charges from vehicle keepers where they don't identify the driver.
The DfT has provided guidance Link Removed.
So, the message is watch out when parking to make sure you know the conditions and comply with them - whether it be making sure you are properly parked in a bay, staying longer than the free two hours at motorway services or whatever.
