I suggest you remove all the exhibits showing all yours/ your wife's personal data  -  see IMPORTANT REMINDER at top of forum.

Edensashes

thanks,have removed images containing personal information

I think you used the acronyms 'IPC CoP' without saying what those mean.

If you appealed this PCN but were outright refused then mention that because it shows that they KNEW that a passenger was disabled but carried on. That's illegal under the Equality Act 2010.

Have you got all the necessary exhibits, including Excel v Wilkinson and the 'duty to make reasonable adjustments' section of the EA?

Some observations:-

"10. I opened my wife’s car door and the Blue Badge slid (of) the seat."  -  (off)

"14.The fact of the matter is that my wife does have a blue badge and our car is

registered (at) DISABLED as shown in our V5 document underTaxation Class.(Ex 4)"  -  (as)

"Parking Eye v Beavis is (notable)"  -  usually (distinguished) is stated

"16.

The Supreme Court held that the intention cannot be to punish a motorist, or to

present them with concealed pitfalls, traps, hidden terms or unfair/unexpected

obligations, (or) can a firm claim an unconscionable sum. In the present case, the

Claimant has fallen foul of those tests."  -  suggest that this should be (nor) even though it is in WS you adapted.

"33. I submit that, whilst my blue badge was not visible in the windscreen, the

subsequent (fine) was disproportionate,........."  -  add "wife's" here.

  -  (charge)  -  you will never see the word "fine" stated in any ppc documentation in this respect.

unfortunately, i sent my WS last night so can not make changes now...
i have received their documents and moneysavingexpert.com get a mention!!

Yep. But that's normal for that (presumably) BW Legal template WS.  Seen hundreds of times on here.  Search for a couple of words from it.

You can do if you wish but the best thing is to do a crip sheet listing all the points you wish to raise
This is a memory jogger for you

TIPS .... call the judge sir or madam. The judge will first question the claimant so listen carefully and then it's your turn..  Don't butt in when the judge is talking but work from your crib sheet

Don't forget your costs schedule

Good luck
