I went in Iceland carpark in Grimsby yesterday and noticed they had cameras just as I entered. I didn't have any change on me and thought they would have a card option, I read the terms and conditions of parking I  there and says they can charge 60 quid if you you don't pay the tariff. I drove straight out literally from getting in the car park to leaving was less than 5 mins can they charge me or do they have to give you a grace period to read the terms on the board before deciding whenever to leave or not. thanks

I'd have thought that given you couldn't see the terms and conditions before you went in, including the terms of payment (cash only)* they can't charge you as you hadn't had an opportunity to understand the terms of their offer and to accept it.

* the specific facts of the case matter

So in the case of Iceland versus Isa-Mariner, in which the appellant pleads for non-payment of parking fees, the Civil Court of Kingston presided over by Mr Justice Nolegle-Trayning finds in favour of the defendant Mr Isa-Mariner.

Firstly it is not a fine, private parking companies cannot fine anyone.

Secondly my understanding is that they have to give you a 10 minute grace period.

If you were unlucky enough to get a parking charge then head over to the MSE website where they have a specific forum that helps with these charges,

Managed to overturn a parking ticket for parking on double yellows issued by NELC because:

- they’d issued it for Sackville Road, Immingham rather than Sackville Street, Grimsby.

- the car was actually parked in The Spinney.

- ‘penalty charge notice’ was spelt ‘peanlty charge notice’

I told them that I thought the ticket was someone having a laugh and no serious local authority would ever make these kind of amateurish mistakes.

I’m sure you’ll be fine (no pun intended).

My only case of a parking ticket issued by NELC had similar blunder filled feel....Top Town Market roof ....i worked for the council at the time and had a council issued car park pass giving me free parking entitlement......the traffic warden didnt see or didnt accept that it was valid so issued me a ticket.
I went to the ticket office which was coincidentally on the same rooftop...took my car park pass with me and asked for a reason why the ticket had been issued.  The only reason they would give was " not parked within the displayed terms and conditions" and i could appeal by letter if i wanted to.
Went outside...looked at the displayed "terms and conditions" which although badly faded on a Grimsby Borough Council liveried sign i felt i met the requirements.  The sign also stated these rules are available at the office , so i went to the office and asked for the rules as i couldn't fully make out the sign... and they couldn't produce the rules.  
All above points in a nice letter and suprise suprise ticket quashed.
