Parked on private road as disabled driver - followed ignore advice now claim form has arrived

Hi Bloominbargains I have been in a similar situation and followed the 'experts' advice on here to get the claim dismissed in court.  
I and others are concerned about the CCJ, is this just a threat of a CCJ?  if not look closely and perhaps it is for another incident.  In any case come back with details and follow the advice given here.

Hey, So today I have Mediation. I am going to offer nothing. I have ALSO been sent a CCJ re this as well. Is this normal!?

How have they "sent you a CCJ?"  As mentioned by @Gr1pr and @James_Poisson, unless there are two different cases on the boil, you cannot have received a CCJ.  Have you already been to a hearing for another case and lost?

Surely if they are already taking me to court they should not also have done a CCJ?!? I am very nervous about the call. I have ADHD and tend to babble. I am making sure my hubby is near to make sure I shut up!! I am tempted to offer £30 for the original fine but I aim to stick to nothing. I am disabled and parked on the road to go into a shop (LIDL) when the car park was full. The signs were not clear that it is a private road. I stated in my defence that I stopped to rest due to pain, which is true, but did not mention that I left the car for under 5 minutes. I have taken pictures of the signs to show that there are clear signs further down the road but at the area I parked, using my disabled badge (Which I understand is not recognised in a private road/ parking unless mentioned, which it is not) did not have the clear private road signs, just signs with a lot of small print, high up on lamp posts on the opposite side of the road. There was one on my side just further up the road and facing the other way to where I parked so it looked like a road sign. 
Do I need to mention anything about the CCJ in the meeting? Or is that a separate situation I now have to fight also? Wish me luck!! 
I will update on the outcome of today.

Mediation was an unimportant call, so hopefully you weren't bullied and didn't feel you had to make excuses or talk about your case in detail. You didn't.

Anyway what do you mean, you've got a CCJ? You can't have one for this case.
