    No, because it's not just about whether it occurred. Your position has a lack of a moral reasoning but has a human reasoning and a defence wouldn't be based on that, anyway.

    You should have parked outside the bay and left your hazards on, i would say.

    I reckon the car in your bay belonged to the parking firm. Look out of for it again and prove that, and you have them in trouble!

    Thanks so if I end up in court I will probably loose.

    I would very much doubt that.

    As a nursing mother the law requires that service providers must make "reasonable adjustments" to cater for your "protected characteristics". No if or buts, read this

    No it doesn't, The Deep.

    Nothing about reasonable adjustments applies to anyone except disabled people.

    Did you not read my link?


    I served for 5 years in the Foreign Office Legal Department. I think that I could make a good argument that it they do.

    Did you read the Equality Act? Reasonable adjustments (per se) do not apply to the Act's maternity provisions, and she wasn't breastfeeding as her reason for parking there anyway.

    However, there is a defence to be written, when she needs it and only a complete numpty with more money than sense (or a poor/weak victim, or someone without the internet) would pay a PPC.

    Of course. Did you read my link?

    and she wasn't breastfeeding as her reason for parking there anyway.

    How do you know that? Newborn babies do not have rotas.

    IMO this falls to be considered under the EA as discriminatory. I should be interested to read why you disagree.
