Hospital fine

I am a member of staff at a british hospital and received a parking charge notice from legion group yesterday.
I was rushing my 6 month old baby to a&e as he was very unwell. There was no spaces left outside my work building and the visitors car park was queued up so I parked in a staff disabled space opposite my ward.
I have read that disabled bays are not legally enforced when on private property so is that the stance I should take when appealing in addition to telling them my reasoning and saying I will complain to my employers?
Any advice or links to a template would be gratefully received thanks

    Start by reading the Sticky thread for NEWBIES at the top of the page then appeal using the template letter it contains.


    Meanwhile, contact PALS and your Union.

    ...and don't call it a f - - -, please It isn't!
    It's an unenforceable invoice, a facsimile document demanding money.
    If it didn't look convincing and read scarily, it wouldn't intimidate people.
    That's why it's done.
    Read, absorb, as Fruitcake advises - it takes more than one glance.
