    "10. The Defendant, at all material times, parked in accordance with the terms granted by the lease. "

    Contradicts:-

    "
    8. (added to the end of original paragraph #2) However, the vehicle is recognised and it is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper but the claimant cannot confirm who was the driver."

    Thank you so much I will edit to say '10. The Defendant, at all material times, maintains that the vehicle was parked in accordance with the terms granted by the lease. "

    Would that be better written as...
    '10. The Defendant maintains that at all material times the vehicle was parked in accordance with the terms granted by the lease'.

    I have also added this: 

    11. The Defendant maintains that a permit was displayed in a tax disc holder on the windscreen by the driver of the vehicle before starting their shift on the day in question.

    But do add cause of action estoppel and Henderson versus Henderson etc, plus that the claims be combined too

    ive just realised i cant send the same defence as i need to update the dates for the preliminary matter so have requested the information again. I'm not sure if action estoppel or Henderson Vs Henderson would apply here as it was a separate incident. Same car park the next day. I will ask for the claims to be combined though

    If all the core components are the same, they should have issued one claim for ALL outstanding invoices, not piecemeal,   so definitely estoppel applies 

    Same parking company, same location, same alleged breach, same £100 charge. ( or less per incident, but typically £100. ) , same vehicle, same solicitors too

    Doesn't matter if its one PCN , or two , or twenty
