    With an issue date of 20/11/25 and providing you complete(d) the AoS after 25/11/25 and before 09/12/25 your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 23/12/25
    Yes, complete the AoS on MCOL and then, using the template defence, compile your defence.
  • Thanks guys, i did submit the AOS earlier on so my deadline day, as you say is 4:00pm 23/12/25. Nice early Christmas present for Smart Parking  :)

    I have also edited thread title - is that okay?

    Now, I need to scrub up and perfect my defence. I entered the shopping centre car park for 20 mins, ate my pack lunch and left. The signs on the entry road are there but small and not really very clear. At the time, in 2021, I did contact the shopping centre but they ignored my plea. I also no longer have access to the email that contains the SAR data they provided me at the time. How am I best to play this here? I am out of my depth but I am going to spend the next few days gathering as much information to construct a best version of my defence, with you're help, if you can.

    Just search for and use any recent Smart parking defence, changing the circumstances to suit your own.
