DCB legal - court papers

Coupon-mad

You will need out help at WS & evidence stage so please stick around.

I wasn't talking in riddles. It's really simple to defend, as I said:

Hence for now, you use the Template defence with the special para 3 linked for cases where no breach is pleaded.

You should add to the end of the standard para 2 that the Defendant was the driver, were authorised to park because they work at the hospital.

Use the special Chan & Akande para 3 that you found linked when you read the Template Defence thread.

I didn’t actually mean you to be fair, I’ve asked on other threads and had confusing responses on there. I’ve seen you comments on other posts and actually remembered your username as being quite helpful 😅.

Well I assumed as you didn't say that you went to them, I stand corrected. I have a wife that was a ward sister so i know about fighting hospital PCN's. Many people come on here and are of the wrong opinion that the parking company either own the car park, or have some unilateral hold on everything concerning the site and the landowner doesn't.

The reason I said you had been vague is that unless I have missed something we still don't know why you received their ridiculous charge, again many people come on here saying for example I paid to park so I shouldn't get a PCN whereas the PPC has used one of their list of silly Terms and conditions to catch them out.

You said you had the right to park I get that I was just stating you hadn't said why the PCN had been given, e.g. you had authorisation to park but they must have claimed you broke another unrelated rule which surely cannot be about authorisation to park, and cannot be "black and white" surely, your original argument was not going to succeed.

But never mind you seem to be sorted now, hope it works out well.

Just wanted to add an update to this.
Had my mediation phonecall this afternoon. The mediator was actually very nice and firstly asked if I understood what parking eye were claiming against me. I replied that I had allegedly ’breached Terms & conditions’ which I absolutely hadn’t and I explained the whole situation. Told him I would not be making any offers. The guy actually said he completely understands why I’m disputing it, and told me they had offered £220 (lol) which I obviously said absolutely not. He said would I like to do any counter offer so I said £10 if they really want a bit of money.
He then rang back 15 minutes later and said he’s told them my defence, they’ve looked into it and they never received an appeal from me, so they’ll do £35 because it’s ’cost them money to get to this point’.
I explained that we do not appeal them ourselves and the security office at the hospital had told me they would deal with it (as they had done previously for me with incorrect tickets), so again this is not my fault and nothing to do with me. I then said £20 to get rid of them but that’s my final figure if not I’ll see them in court. I also said it’s laughable to go from £220 to £35 and it’s clearly a scam act!

ANYWAY… I held the line and they accepted £20 😂. Really didn’t want to pay anything but I just want to get rid of them.

Thanks again to all the information on this forum and all the advice!!
