    On what grounds has the claim been repudiated? 

    Why are you paying for lawyers rather than just complaining yourself? 

    You can go to the ombudsman after 8 weeks if you still dont have a Final Response to your complaint by then.

    Your son's contract is with the insurer, not the loss adjuster. It is to them he should be complaining.

    Clearly more to this story than told, the key fact is what reason they declined to pay?

    Did he have business cover?

    It didn’t turn out to be very secure

    I'm going to take a wild guess here that he left his keys with the parking company, the car was removed using the keys, and so the insurers are pointing to that clause in the insurance.

    If that is the case, then his claim is against the parking company, not his car insurer.
