Euro Parking COURT DATE despite following advice. HELP!!

beaniemans

Hi I want to make this brief initially not to waste time or identify myself but basically I have followed all of the advice (including Newbie stuff) on the thread but I now have a court date with Euro Parking,

I parked on a petrol station forecourt and Euro Parking claim I went off the premises, thus breaking the contract I entered when I saw their signs which claim parking is for " CUSTOMERS/VISITORS OF XXX SERVICE STATION ONLY WHILST YOU REMAIN ON THE PREMISES"

I used all the templates and defended my case using the precedent cases (Bevis etc). My main defence is that I was using the petrol station services. There are pics of me on the forecourt and near the boundaries. 

Please can someone contact me or advise on how I should proceed. I'd rather not head to court blind with no legal know how.

Any help much appreciated!
Thanks

So exactly which company and lawyers are on the claim form   ?

EURO Parking Services and possibly Gladstones,  or ECP and DCB Legal   ?

It's Gladstones

They have sent me their claimant witness statement which includes pictures of "the driver" at the garage and the original tickets. Their claim is there was a contravention as "the driver" went off the garage premises. The pictures show "the driver" was there for three minutes total. 

Thanks for your replys

Just to clarify there is no proof of anyone leaving the premises. Just the car arriving and leaving after three minutes.There are pictures of the driver near the boundary of the forecourt

Can you show us their witness statement?

Hi Carl1980 

I can but slightly reluctant without considering implications. What info should I omit before posting? Or can I send it privately? Don't want names, pics of the driver etc up on the public forum obviously.

I appreciate your help 

Thanks

And have you sent your WS? You probably had the same deadline in the Hearing Order, as Gladstones did.

I haven't sent my witness statement to Gladstones yet. Has to be with the by early October, I'm just researching how to go about it.

Thanks

Whatever you post, it should not reveal personal or private details or photos of people,  no reference numbers, no data,  but can include dates etc
