Parked in a disabled bay at 11pm for 3 minutes, any way can get out of it?

Hello how are you all?
As the title says, driver did this in mcdonalds carpark in west sussex area

driver does not have a blue badge, was just rushing around for a few minutes and parked in a bay for 3 minutes, did not see the signs 

driver legit has been diagnosed with ADHD however, which technically is a disability but not requiring a blue badge

however picture attached shows driver in bay, is there any way to contest please?

    Try plan A in the newbies sticky thread in announcements,  trying to get the pcn cancelled based on the Equality Act 2010 plus being a legitimate customer,  if true 

    Which parking company   ?  MET  ?

    Blue Badge doesn't mean anything on private land anyway, unless it's part of the contract details which would be in the signs.

    Just appeal as keeper at this stage. Nothing you say right now will persuade MET to cancel, so just use the template initial appeal (in blue text) from the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, first post.

    There'll be more to deal with as time goes by. Brief yourself up, so you're ready for each stage, by studying the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement.  It's necessarily detailed, so settle down with a cuppa and notepad and pencil. Here to help as you progress through the process.
