Won my court case THANK YOU

Hi
I won my case against NCP/ solicitor minions. ANPR.
Huge thank you.
It was pretty scary letting it go to court, Following forum advice/steps but we had paid on the day.
We *may* have entered the wrong reg number. I cant remember. We had credit card receipt for the day saying NCP.
Another main thing in my favour was the ticket machine records didn't show our reg.
BUT - might help others- on the same day, it showed 16 non reg numbers which NCP had taken money for.
So the machine doesn't require an actual reg number to take payment and therefore isn't reliable as a record to show we didn't pay. The machine could've been faulty or 16 others entered an incomplete/non reg number thst day. Either way magistrate agreed with me it was not reliable.
Any questions please ask. Sorry memory is terrible but I have records obviously.
Thank you again 💓

Magistrate??? This was the County Court, not the Magistrates' Court.taking_time said:Either way magistrate agreed with me it was not reliable.
Your case would have been heard by a District Judge, or Deputy.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.4 -
Asuume as it's NCP, the losing legal was BWLegal3

Nice result, well done. 👍BUT - might help others- on the same day, it showed 16 non reg numbers which NCP had taken money for.And there'll be another NCP grab at more money from them - 16 x £100!
Sounds like there's a fundamental problem with the PDT there.
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. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Well done
So many faulty machines but I guess that it's not in their interests to maintain them.
