The class-action complaint, filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania last week against Philadelphia, Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, the Philadelphia Parking Authority, and PPA officials, takes issue with the wording of violation notices because the notices say the registered owner of the car is liable to pay the fine. “Noticeably absent” from the notices, the lawsuit says, is that car owners can dispute a citation if they didn’t drive the car.

“People don’t even know that they have a defense because the tickets are misleading,” said Kyle Garabedian, an attorney with Kang Haggerty who represents the car owners.

The due process violations alleged in the complaint raise concerns that the programs issue misleading tickets as a way to “generate a massive amount of money,” Garabedian said.
