    The officer has a single line statement saying. “Parling in the carpark when the store are closed.”
    Not presumably as a separate doc signed and verified with a statement of truth, cause that ain't even a sentence.

    Have you shown us the exhibits, AA1, AA2 etcetera? These would be extremely useful.

    You might find it easier to upload the whole of the scammer's WS and exhibits to a web hosting site such as Dropbox, Tinypic, Postimages etcetera, then post the link here. That way we will be able to see the whole thing in chronological order. 

    Have the parking weasel's notes been included in the evidence/exhibits? I don't mean something saying what the weasel allegedly saw or did, but either contemporaneous notes from his notebook or printed from a hand-held device, or a witness statement signed under a statement of truth.
    I would be attacking the scammer's WS if none of that has been provided. 

    Have a look at this with regards to evidence and witnesses. It explains how evidence must be presented. You should state that the weasel's evidence is hearsay and does not comply with para 33.2.
    You should also contact the court and require the witness (the parking weasel) to appear at the hearing in accordance with para 33.4 sub para (b)

    OP - to clarify
    Jonnersh is syaing: where is t he WITNESS STATEMENT from the PARKING ATTENDANT? Its *own document*
    NOT the paralegal. 
    NOT anyone else
    The parking attendant who allegedly saw you leave site. 
    WIthout this they have no evidence you left site. the only thing they would have is if YOU said it at any point

    I’d be more than happy to send you everything over via Dropbox. Wouldn’t I need your email to do that though?

    Just post the dropbox link in the thread.
    Of course obliterate your personal details - and only your details - before doing that.

    No, dropbox generates a link. 

    That is NOT a witness statement! You KNOW it is not a witness statement, because you KNOW what a WS looks like now!
    AS such it is no evidence
    None
    So theyre claiming being there for 2 min merits a ticket. NOPE. CoP says not
    In addition if there is a cash machine within the tescos wall, then that is a service provided BY tescos mnaking you a customer of tesco EVEN AFTER HOURS

    It's not a trial it is a hearing and you will be in the same boat as everybody else who completes a DQ and tries to guess what days they will not be at work in the next six months.  You can claim costs but lost salary/holiday is usually capped at £95 and will require proof of earnings (or loss of them).

    If you win, you might be able to claim ordinary costs up to £95. I don't know if you can get more for having to take time off work. You would need to include a copy of the job offer for the date in question with your summary costs assessment to show that you have missed out.

    I’m in half a mind to write back to them, and offer significantly a lower price for the sake of not going to court, not because I see myself as guilty or at fault. Is this worth doing? Or would I just be incriminating myself?
