Double Yellow - Loading - Manchester PCN

Hi All,
Need some advice on a ticket my brother recieved, he parked on a
double yellow as he was loading into the warehouse near,
although I do not see any way out of this, as it says no loading
and its a double yellow :(
But before he pays, thought I'd run it by you guys in case
theres something or a miracle.

Is the vehicle his, and if so, is the V5C Registration
Certificate, (aka Logbook), up-to-date in all respects ?

The vehichle is his, but his registered it to his company as
opposed to his name, so the V5 reflects this and is up to date,
I believe in all respects being the company name and the company
address (have asked him to confirm the address bit, bit believe
it will be the case).

The double kerb blips aren't great but probably compliant.
Is the location on the PCN correct.

Yep the location is correct, while its a long road, it seems to
be aroudn this point on gsv, looks slightly older, albiet only a
year.. as i do nto see the no loading sign in gsv, ratehr there
is a loading lampost (which I assume is no longer there)

The sign isn't needed with 24/7 loading restrictions but is
often used to bolster double kerb blips as they do degrade.

Noted for future reference, So I guess on this case there, best
he just pays the discounted rate?
1. Would the same apply if there was a loading bay (marked on
the floor), would it need a lampost with a signage stating the
times or similar, asmy brother has recently been parking in such
a space to load/unload.
2. His been worried as each time he unloads stock, he has to
lock the car and go away up a building and back down, the warden
in this period would see no one loading/unloading and give a
ticket, I've advised him to leavea note stating your loading at
the property and floor level and your number - Is this the best
practice in such a case, or would you advice otherwise.

A loading bay must have a sign to show whatever loading
restrictions there may be, for instance restricting the bay to
vehicles built for the carriage of goods

No harm in leaving a note, but CEOs can ignore it, although they
might observe for a bit longer. SO best to keep all delivey
notes or other documentation to prove loading. Then if you get a
PCN you can include copies of these as collateral in your reps
against the PCN.

Does this mean that then technically it becomes a invalid PCN,
or it can be fought on this ground and won without fail?

But we wasn't parked in a loading bay, he was on a street with
double-yellow lines that normally bar parking, except for
loading or boarding/alightiing passengers. However there are
also double yellow kerb blips to indicate No Loading, and there
is a sign confirming this. So the PCN is kosher in my view.
