    Why didn't you just search the forum for worst case court?  We don't need yet another thread asking the exact some question we get asked every week on all the court defence threads.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Stop panicking about this. Smart Parking hardly ever issue court proceedings, even though they issue somewhere around three quarters of a million tickets a year, so I somehow don't think they'll be rushing to take you to court for just a couple of tickets. Obviously I can't guarantee that, but there's help here if unlikely court papers drop through your letterbox.
