       Just consider the parallels: you weren't the driver, have no
       first-hand knowledge of events and are taking your son's
       word...and the officer considering his reps had no first-hand
       knowledge of events and took the CEO's notes (a 'legal binding
       document' as they call it and signed by the CEO as being a true
       record) as being the truth.
       In reality, what would you have expected the authority to do
       given that a copy of the BB wasn't submitted etc? But note the
       council's comment at the top of page 2 ..'if no further evidence
       is received'. They've left the door open to your son to provide
       this at the NTO stage, so let's take full advantage. (Have you
       actually posted all their response? IMO, the end of page 1 and
       the top of page 2 are disjointed?)
       Based on your son's account, this is winnable, but he gives
       himself the best chance by setting out the full picture which we
       could then help him present in the most effective manner.
       So, the full sequence pl from why his mother was being dropped
       off(when, why there and then, is this routine etc.), why he was
       escorting her(presumably not just a familial sense of
       responsibility but a necessity based upon her condition), where
       he escorted her, what did he do then(stay, return to car etc.)
       and the events at the car?
       As alluded to by others, there is a statutory defence based upon
       'assisted alighting' which has nothing to do with the display of
       a BB, so I suggest that if there's any doubt in his mind as to
       whether the BB was displayed(NB. the council's claim is that
       'there was no physical badge displayed' and not that there was
       one present but obscured or displayed improperly), this is
       flagged up now.
       And a copy of the PCN and original reps pl.

       Note that for the blue badge exemption to apply the parking
       clock must also have been displayed with the correct time.

       That's a good outcome, did they give any reason as to why it's
       been cancelled?
