another way of looking at this .....
How old is your brother in law.... If is at at an age where credit is not needed etc then A CCJ on his credit file will do him no harm 

Thanks, ChirpyChicken He is 65 and was at the time of the hospital visit.

Then IMHO I wouldn't do anything. I wouldn't pay or waste my time challenging it.
Dealing it with lead to no positive outcome.
Leaving it will no negative effects at your age.  Its a single ticket.  So just a few letters from DCBL. 

That really is as simple as it gets

I am wondering why you are presuming that someone aged 65 would not need credit?

The sort of credit someone aged 65 needs is quite different to that of someone aged 35 which are affected to a much smaller extent to a CCJ 
They will unlikely to be taking out new lines of credit in the forms of credit cards/over drafts

People of that age are more likely to stay with the same telecoms/broadband provider and one CCJ does not really have an effect on these type of applications

The advice would different if they were 35 

However a lot of people are not bothered by a CCJ.  Yes it effects some people but not other. Its horses for courses.  Would I advise this course of action normally.  No i wouldnt.

I would place a notice of correction on your credit file. Any organisation searching will see it's "only" a private parking ticket and not that you defaulted on a utility bill or something more important.
