Fine recieved for parking in a disabled bay with no badge to

Hello I recived a parking g ticket while picking up my son from
virgin gym as I had parked in a disabled bay for 10 mins juts
before closing to pick up my adhd son and I have autism I didn’t
have a badge but parked in a disabled bay. Due to my autism I
was unable to deal with the letter on time and it had now
escalated to dcb legal. I did go in at the first stage to the
gym and was told by front desk staff they would sort it out but
didn’t. I want to dispute it as by law I shouldn’t need to
display a blue badge on private car parks and I was only there
for 10 mins. What is the chances I will win this case if I go to
court and don’t pay the fine.

By which law? On private land, the owners of the land can impose
whatever requirements they like.
They do have to make "reasonable adjustments" for disabled
people under the Equality Act, although whether a reasonable
adjustment for someone with autism is allowing them to park
closer to the gym than others might be a stretch.
The good news is that DCB Legal very often back down when a
claim is defended. Show us the relevant documents as detailed in
the link above and we can advise.

Sorry I assumed you don’t need to display a badge by law but you
can use the bay if you have a disability. I have special needs
son don’t understand things well. So do I have no grounds to
fight the case if it and when it goes to court? I didn’t respond
back to the other matters that came also I was told by the gym
staff it would’ve canceled. Due to my autism was unable to do
it on time so now it has escalated to dcb legal and there is no
option to appeal it just says I have to pay. I was only there
for 10mins. I’ve sent emails to the gym and dcb legal they are
saying they can’t do anything about it now. What are my options
now please. Thank you for any help in advance. Thank you for the
response too.
