If you had paid for a ticket, yet the warden ticketed you 3 mins later then surely you are covered anyway?

He simply "got" you whilst on your way back to the car

The likes of Excel don't really care if you have paid or not - They usually ticket at the slightest excuse and "appeals" are seldom if ever upheld. They just want your money.

Search back in this forum. You will find a few "I paid but still got a ticket" type threads.

For someone who claims to be dyslexic you write fantastically.

Dyslexic people using computers use spell checkers as a matter of course and most are fanatical about learning the rules of grammar.

dmg24 is clearly not a sympathiser with those of us with dyslexia. Dyslexia doesn't mean we are thick, we just take longer to read. I use spell checker and use an admin assistant in work who helps me out by proof reading thing I send out.

I'm by no means the worse sufferer; soem may have missed the point - I'm trying to see if there is any case law or precident I can use to defend should this ever end up in court.

I think I have a good resason, but woudl rather pay £100 now, rather than end up hundreds out of pocket in a failed court case in months time.

You have no chance of losing in court; PPCs have never won a properly defended case- apart from anything else, penalty charges are illegal, as per the House of Lords judgment in Dunlop v New Motor Co (1915).

Furthermore, they can only claim their actual loss, which is £0 as you paid for a valid ticket.

Ignore everything Excel send to you, unless it's real court papers (which won't happen).
