Good to know. I love the little bottle jacks for things like this.
I've seen them removed at work in the same way, there is nothing to stop the clamper applying another clamp to a different wheel while it's being done though.
The licence you need to obtain before you can legally clamp on private property is called Vehicle Immobilisers Licence, it doesn't matter if you use 1 or 4 clamps, you do what you perceive to be necessary to immobilise the offending vehicle.
another interesting point, if clamping and towing is banned from private companys then car repo companies like log book loans will go under surely? not that it would be a bad thing!

As far as I'm aware only the clamping side of vehicle immobilisation is being banned on private property, you can still have a vehicle removed from your land by a third party and the offender will be billed for the costs.

Can anybody tell me if this new law will have a direct effect on privately run, non-council associated pay and display carparks?
After doing a little more research on the subject it appears that ticketing could become a legal substitute to clamping/towing.
Big-Dan.
"Ticketing" will be the only form of legal recourse for property owners. Unfortunately for property owners, ticketing is quite ineffective and really only works on people who are legally naive.
I suspect barrier controlled parking will be the only practical solution.

My work place has several barrier controlled car parks that are operated by a chip/token entry exit system, if immobilisation of any kind is deemed illegal, does that mean we can no longer legally charge for parking? The chip/token has to be validated by the payment machine before the exit barrier will raise itself, so unless the customer pays the parking fee then their vehicle is technically rendered immobilised..
