Is there a difference between parking and waiting?

Not quite, it's a couple of clicks down the street from your link. It's here:

(sorry, can't post links yet - and posting the above seems to insert the odd rogue space into the text)

It's to the right of the City Hotel. Can't move closer on street view unfortunately. I think the van I stopped behind was outside the hotel.

The impression given on this thread is that the lease company paid the PCN before notifying the OP of its existence.

Unfortunately, in the absence of any further clarification, I have to state that I'm no longer entirely convinced that this is indeed the case.

I'm happy to be corrected on this issue.

Do we feel you have scope for appeal - always! Just ask pepipoo for advice. You would be surprised - most cases win when appealed as far as PATAS and there's no harm in asking pepipoo for their view rather than just paying up.

C-m, with the greatest respect, any late determining & revelation of 'flaws' with the PCN etc etc which 'may have been' grounds for appeal, would now, in the main, be irrelevant & purely academic.

There is absolutely no 'scope' or legal provision for any form of appeal here by the OP, as primarily the PCN has already been paid by the liable party, ie the RK.

Crucially, what still remains unclear, is whether(or not) the OP had a 'reasonable opportunity' to 'engage' with the leasing company and/or Council prior to that payment being made.
This would determine what other options may now be available to him.

Thanks, and I now realise that I cannot appeal against the PCN.

Although I've been informed that the fine's been paid by the lease company, and have been requested to pay accordingly, I believe there is the opportunity to dispute it if there were grounds for appeal. Before I test this, I want to be confirm if there would have been grounds to appeal.

BruLuc - it would help if you clarified the timeline of events, viz what exactly did you receive & when in relation to the date of the contravention itself.
Also what exactly do the T&C's in your agreement with the lease company state with regard to parking contraventions & the like.
