    Hi all,

    We had a mediation phone call on the 10th Oct and nothing was settled, as expected.  MCOL is now reading that the claim has been transferred to Derby.   So I guess we just wait for a court date ?  Do we start gathering evidence now/sort witness statement out at this point ? I will take a look at the NEWBIE thread once more.   Regarding evidence, would photographs be acceptable of the dimly let restaurant car park, showing where the CEL signs used to be ?  I can see them on Google Maps very dated photo from 2023 and there's no lights over them at all. 
    Of course, it isn't about the signs.  Its about the car registration pad - was it working and present or not ?  

     We're going away in 31 days on holiday, which I did put down on the relevant form.  

    My hubby recorded the mediation phone call and let me listen.  Evidently hundreds of customers went to the restaurant and none of them got PCN's on the date.   I had to laugh.  The car park holds about 10 cars ! It was a Sunday night lol 

    Thanks once more...

    Yes, wait for the court order to arrive in the post from Derby 

    Yes gather your evidence and start on your WS draft,  but no rush 

    Chances are that nothing will be required from you until next year,  so have a good holiday

    Would it be mentioned on MCOL when the court order is sent out ?  We live at a place with a really common street name and frequently post goes missing and we get other people's post.  Thanks.  So looking forward to the holiday.  I hope we don't get an airport parking ticket at East Mids.  I'd be crying :-(  

    Thanks once more.
