    While the ticket itself is going nowhere, I would have to say that there MIGHT be some problem making a case that even a disabled person would take 3 and a half hours to do a shop... though whether either of the prospective defendants would fancy testing that in court is a moot point...

    I think it would depend on what the 'usual' time limit is and whether the car park is also provided for people to use the local shops etc.

    If the usual time limit is 3 hours then for a disabled person to take half an hour longer is no problem - but I take your point, if the time limit is less.

    But the main expectation with a case like this is that the large Supermarket in question would be horrified at the thought of a disability breach case and would cough up out of court I suspect. As you say I can't see either defendant wanting to test it in Court.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Sue Morrisons for failing to provide adjustments for disabled people under the Equalities Act.

    When I first read this, I thought, "Who's Sue Morrison?". :o

    No worries. What you could do, though, is to tell everyone you know that private parking tickets are unenforceable and should never be paid or appealed. Spread the word!

    I've just had my second letter from CP Plus and it's just like the first one. I'm going to stick to my guns and ignore this one as well. Thanks for everybody's support, I really mean it!:T
