    The beehive center is next door to another carpark, the Cambridge retail park (they share the same roundabout) and i drove there to park at nandos to grab something to eat, went to Dunelm and left afterward. I didn't mention Dunelm in the appeal anyway, I just emailed them because i forgot what side they're on.

    I did visit Next home and bought a duvet so i might send them a snap of that and see if they believe me.

    Also, going shopping for beds with a girlfriend took a long time, we also went to look at the pets in pets at home for a while. I wasn't paying much attention since i thought 3 hours was plenty of time. Hopefully they'll belive me for paying in cash and not holding onto my receipts for a bunch of small purchases as that is what happened! I don't think it should be required of anyone to hold onto every receipt they get just incase they get an unexpected parking fine...

    You are not required to.

    However, if a civil dispute ends up in court a judge has to decide on the balance of probabilities who he believes. This is sometimes explained as 51:49 or as more likely than not.

    Obviously he takes into account all of the evidence presented. If it was the only or final deciding factor, the judge would have consider whether it is more likely than not that two people visiting a retail park for three hours would have some form of proof of at least one purchase between them. Whilst your situation is perfectly possible in my opinion it verges on the unusual.

    That's why the OP needs to complain like Friar Tuck, as The Deep would say.

    Who, that bumbling old fool?

    Friar Tuck I mean! :D
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    A lovely facilities manager at JLL got back to me on Friday who called parking eye / popla and got the charge canceled. A roundabout win but a win none the less! Thank you to everyone that helped out :beer:
