Council Parking Ticket

Hi,

I don't know the full details but my brother in law has just called to ask my advice about a parking ticket he got. It is a bonafide coucil parking ticket with no reduction for early payment:(

I think his case is pretty weak but one of the points he has is that they are treating him "unfairly" as the person parked next to him was there for the same length of time with no ticket. Is this a fair thing to add to his appeal?

  • I assume this is a fixed penalty ticket. If so its pay up or plead not guilty at mags court. Copy/photo the ticket and host on tiny pic then copy/paste the url into a post. Remove personal bits.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    He says it was an excess charge notice? Does that make any difference? The fine goes up to £1000 if he doesn't pay:eek:
  • Same difference, its not under decriminalised legislation. I suggest cough up.
