    I asked for SAR which they sent a while back, this has supposedly all the submission into the machine from that day, would you like me to send it?

    Yes please. Post it up on here so others can comment. Let's see everything that they have sent but particularly the VRN list.
    here is the list i was sent

    Anything useful there? We have no idea what number plate you are looking for and what that machine log shows you that helps your case?
    My numberplate begins with RA, however its not on that sheet so I'm not sure how that could help me with my WS

    Take a closer look.

    Machine D only recorded one numberplate.  Machine C only two.  Suggests some were not functioning. The list is also unsigned, undated, there's no header, no provenance to make it a useful piece of evidence; no-one has stated it is a 'true copy' of all data from all machines that day...

    ...and it's merely a saved PDF of an otherwise blank sheet word document that absolutely ANYONE could have altered, as Excel were found to have done in Excel v Ambler.

    If it is your case that you paid, then you paid. I didn't look back at the whole thread. Did you ask your bank to check and see if a pending transaction was never collected by the merchant?

    That happens sometimes - i.e. card payment made, held as 'pending' for some reason and then the PPC doesn't accept the payment and it disappears.  But banks can see it.

    Added a word here that is vital:

    "At the time of the alleged contravention" 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Put Excel v Ambler in as an exhibit if you haven't already (the actual transcript).

    Machine 373A is on Gresley Row. If the rest are on Backcester Lane that is not much activity for a short stay car park in the centre of the city.

    In the recent Nuneaton Case there were shades of the Ambler Case. Excel's request to appeal was declined by a HHJ.

    A heads-up  -  there is a "c" missing in 4 out of the 5 mentions of the location.
  • Some observations:-

    Would it be easier to state "Claimant" instead of the slightly different names of the ppc you are quoting throuhout?.

    Para 14 and 15  -  (typo)  -  "It is believed that these (metres) are solar powered and work on a 3g or 4g network."

    Para 17  -  "....approach road to the car park and clearly showing (no) insufficient signage once entering the car park to form a contract."

    (no)  -  double negative  -  remove

    Para 15  -  "(Since Excel's contract has been terminated a new operator has taken over) and  similar issues are occuring which would indicate that there are some problems with the supply of power to the parking metres."

    Not clear about (this) because para 19 states:-

    "Such are the issues at Three Spires Shopping Centre Short Stay Car Park (since Excel Parking Service Limited have taken over this site), a petition has been set up calling for the site to be returned to Lichfield District Council."

    I believe that in addition to the S_B's court case other experts may also advise to add others  -  just a thought.
