So you're recommending to send an LBC simply to wind them up? 

Precisely

and  this fits into the pre-action protocols how exactly?

How is that my concern?   What have PAPs got to do with it?

And this my friends is why you should not accept any advice from this gentleman

And here. boys and girls, is a little bit of advice to retail park owners from yer old pal MothballsWallet:

In the current situation, with government guidance (and laws) on social distancing to control the spread of a contagious virus, instruct your PPC agents to use their common sense (I know that is rare in PPC world) and that people will take longer to shop due to the distance restraints and reduced staff numbers in a lot of shops.

Of course, it could be argued that PPC staff aren't essential/key workers at this time....

Mr Pould may not be aware that, before the forums were re-figured I  posted  under the user name The Deep where I amassed nearly 20,000 thanks.  Mr Pould  appaers to have  considerably fewer. 

I would further point out that Her Majesty has applauded be for my sound decisions and has awarded me Her Royal Commission.

Thank you all for your help, for it cancelled. 
Here's the reply I got;

 ...

I have contacted Parking Eye to arrange for this PCN to be cancelled and we will confirm once this has been completed. In the meantime we will also look to review the parking restrictions on the park in light of the current situation.

Keep your eye on the ball, and make sure you get a formal, written cancellation notice from ParkingEye. They usually do, but in case it falls through the cracks and PE escalate it, also keep that reply!

Now consider sending the PPC an LBC.

PE had a perfectly legitimate reason for obtaining the keeper's details in this case. The car was parked in excess of the stated period. They weren't to know the mitigating circumstances that ultimately led to cancellation.

I disagree,.  PE should have been aware of the long waits to shop.  due to the social distancing meadsure in place.   In fact, they should have ceased issujng tickets in this car park.   The ticket was therefore  imo issued without due cause. 

I suspect that some judges would agree with me, some with you.  My post therefore was perfectly valid.
