    Thank you UsefulMale - "if they paid by debit / credit card, there will be a timed and dated entry on the statement". I did indeed pay by credit card so could print a copy of my statement and send that too.

    Oh and you're wrong about the reasonable doubt.


    It would be like any other court case. The onus is on the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

    You have already misread it once. Perhaps YOU should read it again.


    Come on. Tell us all why the quote I made earlier is wrong.

    It's wrong because the doctrine of reasonable doubt does not apply in "any other court case", but only in the criminal courts.


    If the OP ever reaches court, it will be civil.

    Funny enough I got one from Ealing and another from Hounslow and I've never been to those areas. Both happened on same day. I appealed both tickets and reported to the police who have given me a crime reference number.

    They'll stop me now anytime they see the car but this is to ensure its me.

    So what's your crime number for?

    It's obvious that AndyMc..... likes being obtuse.


    If it's a civil case, then the requirement is to convince the judge, on the balance of probabilities, that the claimant is right. There's no requirement for proof beyond reasonable doubt.


    The rules for criminal cases are different. That does require proof beyond reasonable doubt.



    A penalty charge notice is likely to be a civil case, and not a criminal prosecution.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
