Shall i just simply follow the templates in the Newbies thread?Yes.Or do I mention that I left the services and therefore had not been parked.You don't mention anything about 'I', but you can add a final para to the blue text template appeal as to the actions of 'the driver'.You also assertively, yet politely, complain to the motorway service operator, telling them what happened in regard to what the driver did, and insist they tell PE to cancel.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. .

there is one enterance to services , and one exit , no other routes are open to general public .in fact signafe states NO THRU ROAD PRIVATE PROPERTY
I suspect that services will NOT assist with this one3 -
But this appellant will still win. That's a pretty harsh reply, twhitehousescat, why can't he use a road to get to a spot off the services, to go fishing?
To the OP, does your phone have Google location switched on? It will show you drove off site, surely.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

people use this road as an alternative to driving 5 - 10 miles further down m6 , exiting then driving back down main a6 running parralel to m6 . all fishing sites are accessable via the a6 after exiting the motorway at the correct junction

either which way, the car was not in the cat park for the time parking eye allege.
If they wanted people to stop using an unofficial exit they would protect it with a physical barrier locked via a pin code or padlock.
Anpr on is own its not fit for purpose. If the vehicle was not on site I would ask parking eye what systems (ie foot patrols) they have in place to check that the data they gather is accurate and in compliance with GDPRFrom the Plain Language Commission:

PE signs leave much to be desired, many judges do not accept that they form a contract, read this,
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5972164/parking-eye-signs-oxford-road-readingNine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP., it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and in some cases, cancellation.
Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, and an independent appeals service will be set up,
Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

yes this case was NOT double dipping , nor where there problems with PE signage in this case ,
Half_way , the service dtation have gone to great lenghs to install phisical barriers etc , in fact on one side of the services rhis system is in place , but ironicly despite backing from police etc , the local counsil have refused permission fpr a gate or structure to be installed on the other exit road
