    When I received PCN in Oct. 2019, I tried Google street and remembered the markings were red and the sign was something like 'private land PCN £100' etc. As the byelaw 1997 is now mentioned in the sign, which means the arguments from VCS WS saying bylaws there being non compulsory are nonsense.

    Am I right? Should I bring this issue up during the hearing? Thanks!

    Yes, you could mention this, however, if you stopped on RED lines then that makes your position less strong!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    There is no 'RED line' anymore at the Southend Airport. All signed are changed as well.

    I assume the worst is that my case is a trespass offense rather than a contractual disagreement as argued by VCS WS.

    The byelaws allow stopping in an emergency but your thread is too long for anyone to read back, for context and detail.

    Yes. The title of this topic is updated to reflect the case.

    Finished and I WON.

    The guy who presented VCS couldn't prove the landowner of the land, so the case is dismissed. I was only awarded £ 95 (the maximum) for loss of earnings. Hurry!

    Huge thanks to all!

    Well done ..... VCS SPANKED again .... 

    "couldn't prove the landowner of the land,"   
    That's basic schoolboy stuff ........ oh dear
