SOS; Am I going insane or is it them?

SkattyKatty22

Greetings to all against these robbers.
OK, so court appearance next week.
Long story (aren't they all ) short;
Motorway Service Station, duration of stay 2hrs 20mins, free parking 2 hours.
I've followed the advice on here, for which I am really grateful, as best I could.
I am kinda wishing I had paid the stoopid charge because the process is pretty draining to say the least.
But I made my bed and here I am.
Now received their second witness statement which contains the following sentence;

PxxxxxxExx would clarify that it is common terminology for a private parking operator that the site is managed as a whole car park and is therefore referred to as such. 

Quiz questions of the day;

1. Does the sentence even make sense? 
2. What on earth is a whole car park? No-one has said anything about part or parts thereof.
3. I think they meant to say; 'the whole site is managed as a car park' would you agree?
4. Can they equate/conflate the site and the car-park (whole or part!!)?
5. If they can then should the signage refer to STAY rather than PARKING?
6. Is the petrol station, within the site, part of the car-park or part of the site?
7. Is placing a vehicle next to a petrol pump part of a 'parking event'?
8. Please could a kind, sane person tell me who is going insane? Is it me or them?

Happy to have only one question answered for the sake of my sanity.

Thanks

Are ParkingEye pursuing this in court themselves, or are DCB Legal representing them?

Have you submitted a Defence and a Witness Statement?

SkattyKatty22

Attendance for the claimant will be through its agent from LPC Law.
Yes, defence and WS submitted, case is next week.
They have just sent a second WS which contains the offending sentence.
Can I do a second WS too?

Please answer the first question , the answers are on the top left of the claim form

Hi 

I did answer   

Attendance for the claimant will be through its agent from LPC Law.

No, that aspect came later,  you didn't know that fact until recently 

Top left of the claim form will state Parking Eye 

Next box down will either say Parking Eye,  OR possibly DCB Legal 

Definitely not LPC Law

Coupon-mad

Or just show us the POC and we can tell.

1. Is the petrol station, within the site, part of the car-park or part of the site?
2. Is placing a vehicle next to a petrol pump part of a 'parking event'?

No and no. Use that in court! Have you done your WS yet?  Presumably yes, as the hearing is next week.

Thanks for the responses so far.

On the claim form it says ParkingEye.

But they aren't attending court & will be represented by LPC Legal.

I thought the original Q was about who will be in court against me.

So, I have the following responses    in BOLD

Now received their second witness statement which contains the following sentence;
