Judicial parking ban & parking space control – Effective measure against parking offenders

In this article, you will find out what a court ban is, how it is obtained, what consequences it has for parking offenders and why it is worth having such bans checked by Parkotect free of charge.
What is a judicial parking ban?
A judicial parking ban is a court order that makes it possible to prohibit unauthorized persons from parking on a specific property. The legal basis for court prohibitions can be found in Articles 258 to 260 of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO).

How is a parking ban obtained in court?
In order to obtain a judicial parking ban, the landowner or another person entitled in rem must submit an application in accordance with Articles 258 to 260 ZPO. The procedure begins with a written application directly to the competent court. The application must be sufficiently substantiated and include the legitimacy of the applicant. It is advisable to document the faults with pictures.
Consequences for parking offenders
Criminal complaint
If the ban is violated, a criminal complaint may be filed with the competent authority. Violations of the judicial parking ban can be punished with fines of up to CHF 2000.
Circulation compensation
Charging a parking fine is a more moderate method of taking action against parking offenders.
