    Nothing from the court just a letter from the parking company saying the charge has been cancelled in full and that no further action will be taken. 
    That's good - from the horse's mouth. Do hang on to that letter for at least 6 years from the date of the parking event. We have seen a small number of cases where a court claim is reissued some time down the track (usually an admin foul-up by roboclaim lowrenters). 
    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.

    Hi Apologies for radio silence. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice. Ticket was rescinded and no further action is to be taken. I really appreciate all your help.
    Well done, the organ grinder told his monkey what to do.

    It's always best when booking a hotel nowadays to phone ahead to see if they have parking vermin operating ?

    Don't just accept when a booking site shows hotels with free parking.  Many still have parking vermin and you need to enter details

    So, phone first and if there is parking vermin operating, tell the hotel why you will not book with them.    The penny will drop

    I'd send a copy of that letter to the court and copy in the legal firm (if one was used) stating that you are expecting a Notice of Discontinuance and want this cancellation letter placed with the court file.
