PREMIER PARK, BW LEGAL court claim 2026

Thank you for your reply @Coupon-mad

As it happened over a year ago, I really cannot remember exactly how I parked.

That said, I would never park dangerously or take up two bays.

If the car was out of bounds, it would have been only slightly to the left/right or the tyres on the white lines instead of within.

I wish I had a picture as it feels like I'm just fighting in the dark till evidence time.

I'd suggest this:

The allegation is something of an ambush on the Defendant, who has seen no photographs but would never park obstructively or take up two bays. Any line overhang would have been slight and not prevented other motorists from using the site. The doctrine of de minimis applies. At the Supreme Court hearing in the leading authority of ParkingEye v Beavis, their Lordships even considered the unfairness of PCNs issued to drivers in a run of bays whose cars might all have to be parked slightly over the lines in a domino effect due to the angle of the vehicle(s) next to them. It was held in Beavis that consumers cannot be simply punished by a parking charge; there must be justification and fairness. The Defendant has seen no evidence about the alleged incident and nor was a Notice affixed to the vehicle, which would have allowed a fair opportunity to gather evidence and appeal at the time. The Defendant is highly disadvantaged and the lack of any attempt to narrow the issues with evidence to avoid litigation is a clear breach of the PAP by this serial litigant and roboclaim law firm.

You are honestly amazing @Coupon-mad !!!!!!!

I was completely stuck, and you took my dilemma and created the perfect defence that exactly fits my situation.

I genuinely can't thank you enough for your time and generosity. I could not have gotten this far without you!

Coupon-mad

No worries. 🙂

To be clear, that's only paragraph 3 within the whole Template Defence, in case any new readers think that's a full defence!

Did you pass an entrance sign? I can see an amateurish PVC banner on a roundabout on Streetview but seems like a complicated road setup. There should be a permanent metal sign that you passed.

See this Popla decision, which might help at Witness Statement stage: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6603746/premier-park-pcn-update-popla-success

@Coupon-mad should I admit I was the driver at the end of Paragraph 2? What would you recommend for my situation?

Coupon-mad

Yes admit to driving, if you were.
