I've been doing some reading, always dangerous, and wondered if any thought has been given to King Crude Carriers SA v Ridgebury November LLC [2025] UKSC 39 from last November. It's a commercial shipping case about ship sale deposits, so nothing to do with parking on its face, but the point decided is general contract law…

What's my worst case scenario?
Hi. I made the mistake of identifying myself as the driver. I am probably in breach of the rules (clear signs, etc.) but I've been pig-headed about this because (I'll save you the story) the fine is incredibly unfair and unreasonable given the circumstances. I'm currently ignoring the debt collector letters. My latest…
