I am aware of the onus on proof of driver in Northern Ireland, but would love a little help with what to do from here...although the PCN in Northern Ireland is covered in the forum (Have read quite a bit...long time reader, first time poster!) I've posted this as it does seem a little unique. Should there be a different method with regard to multiple PCN's etc.?
I have never got in contact with the parking company and have kept all letters, but none of the windscreen PCN's.
I need to submit my response to the claim soon (edited for vagueness)...thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and respond/offer any advice.
Cheers again,
M10.

Who do they think they are taking to court, the keeper or driver ?
Do you have a small claims court in NI?
The parking tickets were attached to the respondent's vehicle each day and have not been paid. Details of the events including photographs were recorded by the patrol officer on the day. At the time of the infringement of the parking regulations the DVLA confirmed that the registered keeper of the vehicle was the Respondent as detailed at the top of this application. Car Park Services wrote to the keeper, who has failed to pay.
Car Park Services Ltd. is a member of the BPA yada yada.
This claim is for x unpaid Parking Charge Notices (PCN) in which the debt arose XX/XX/2018 and occurred at X car park.
Thank you for the quick replies!
Edit. Yes, we do. Civil Processing Centre, Small Claims Court. Northern Irish car park btw.
The DVLA confirmed the registered keeper but who is the
respondent ????
Not information the DVLA provides or can provide????
Also if the vehicle is registered in NI then they wont have got any information from the DVLA in Cardiff it would have had to have come from the DVA in Coleraine.
Has there been a change in the legislation I'm not aware of?
No, they are probably going to state that, on the balance of probabilities, the RK was the driver.
