Yes you can have a go at them on statutory guidance to act
fairly but they will fend this off.
Asking for their policy would be useful at reps stage.
There are plenty of other cases to check on this forum although
they can be hard to search for.
I have some others on file - I'll have a look.

cancel the Penalty Charge Notice and the Notice to Owner.
Reasons
Mrs xxxxx has attended the hearing today by telephone link as
the authorised representative of Mr xxxxx and the driver of the
vehicle at the time of the alleged contravention.
This PCN was issued for the alleged contravention of being
parked without payment of the parking charge.
The PCN was issued at 9.26am. The controlled hours of parking at
this location are from 9am to 5pm. It is not in dispute that
there is one hour of free parking.
As there was no parking charge due for the first hour of
parking, it follows that the alleged contravention did not
occur. I have seen no signage telling motorists that there is a
liability to make a payment if a free parking session has not
been obtained through Ringo. I have also seen no signage telling
motorists that they will be liable to receive a PCN during the
free parking period if a parking session has not been obtained.

Hmm. So it seems like a 5050 chance.
