IMO your chances of winning this are no better than even.
I read of a case some years ago where a police car (Hampshire Constabulary IIRC), was caught on camera doing something wrong. For whatever reason the the police had no record of who was driving, and the Chief Constable was prosecuted for failing to name the driver.
I know that this differs from contract law, but the principle is the sameYou never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -

They had brought the claim against us as 'Obstructive Parking'.
Being a company defendant and the vehicle was a company vehicle and clearly causing an obstruction in pictures provided which couldn't be denied. The Judge said they had us bang to rights.
The company authorised the use of the vehicle on that day and despite the fact that the vehicle had no grounds to be there on any company business, and was clearly being used for reasons outside the companies wishes, liability still lands on the company.
The judge advised that within our employment contracts we should specify exactly what are vehicles are permitted to be used for, then we may have had a case to say that it was being used outside of its remit?0 -

I questioned the £100 costs and he got a bit funny with may saying this was the absolute minimum and basically I was lucky it wasn't more.0 -
Did their claim originally have an added £60 debt collection charge?
Been a while since I've seen someone mention £50 solicitors fee in a claim.0
