    Further to c-m's poiny

    You are making the newbies' common mistake which is "I done wrong, guv, so they are right to charge me. How can I defend that??".

    Our point is " regardless of the facts, PPCs are penalising motorists to a ludicrous extent to which they are not entitled and we concentrate on helping people based on that point"

    Suppose you had been caught doing 35 mph in a 30 mph limit. You get to the Magistrates court and they say "Guilty. Lock him up for 2 years".

    You would get a brief to appeal the sentence, not the verdict.

    So that's the case here. You are appealing the "sentence" of £100 that does not fit the "crime",

    So, you major on the "No genuine pre-estimate of loss" point.

    Also, suppose the PPC didn't have the right to charge you 1p as they didn't have a valid contract with the landowner? So you demand that they produce the contract in question that actually specifies that they are allowed to charge you.

    Going back to the "crime" of speeding. Suppose that there were no 30mph signs up and it wasn't obvious that you were in built up area. Would that be fair? So you challenge the signage of the park in question. Obviously the signage was inadequate or you would have seen it.

    Basically, that's it in a nutshell.
