Facts
Mr Thornton, "a free lance trumpeter of the highest quality", drove to the entrance of the multi storey car park on Shoe Lane, before attending a performance at Farringdon Hall with the BBC. He took a ticket from the machine and parked his car. It said
"this ticket is issued subject to the conditions of issue as displayed on the premises".
And on the car park pillars near the paying office there was a list, one excluding liability for
"injury to the Customer… howsoever that loss, misdelivery, damage or injury shall be caused".
Three hours later he had an accident before getting into his car. The car park argued that the judge should have held the matter regulated by this contract, not tort.
