    Actually the pitches were booked and paid for on 23 June. The campsite were informed on 27th June that my brother was unable to accompany us. We went 17 July, to attend the burial of my parents ashes.

    but thank you, I'll let the campsite keep my money. £84. For doing nothing. Even if they deducted 'admin fees', keeping it all is daylight robbery.

    What is the cancellation policy? You formed a contract on 23 June when you paid in full, at that point it ceased being your money. You wanted to break the contract on 27 June, did you have the right to a refund under the terms and conditions?

    If not all the company have to do is try to mitigate your losses, ie. resell the pitch. Since you say the park was half empty it seems that was not possible.

    It's not daylight robbery it's contract law, you don't have an automatic right to a refund on goods or services because you change your mind. You would have been way more upset if they'd reneged on the contract because they'd have a better offer for all the pitches on the site, I suspect you would have felt paying in full made it a binding agreement.

    Would you friviously defend it if it was?

    You might want to be a bit more discreet. I'm starting to think you have a thing for arcon.

    Oh and I think the word you're looking for is frivolously ;) Maybe want to be a bit more sympathetic of typo's considering.
