My stupid example above for example, charging you $50 per step wouldn't fly because it is clearly ridiculous, not related to the service of renting a space to park and use of whatever facilities are provided with that.
I believe the fees for overstaying your prepaid park have been challenged and beaten as well because the service provider has to prove that the charges are related to their own costs, and therefore fair.
An example of fighting unreasonable charges like these are the class action suits against banks for 'dishonoured' and OD payments. They were/are charging up to $25 for you trying to spend money that wasn't there/in that specific account. Numerous banks are now losing numerous lawsuits based on the fact the cost to them was only cents (if that) so $25 was, is, essentially price gouging and unreasonable, and as it turns out illegal.
