I'm obviously very happy with this result! Many thanks for all
the help.
I'm not sure why the Council folded at this stage rather than
earlier on in the proceedings as there was literally no
difference in the argument presented. But I guess they just hope
that people will give up and pay.

Appeals are often dealt with by appeals officers, who are
higher-up in the chain and more experienced that the staff who
deal with earlier parts of the process.
About 35 to 40% of tribunal appeals end up not being contested.
However I also suspect a large part of that is due to the
authority simply hoping people will just pay up.

Well done.
Their reasoning pre-appeal was irrational.
They had no evidence in the form of CEO's notes that your car
was parked at any other time than when obs started in connection
with the PCN.
You had evidence that your car left the parking place no later
than the time on the receipt less time taken at and to travel to
the petrol station.
It's not even as if it was the CEO's word against yours.

Indeed, and ironically, if I had returned to my car two minutes
earlier than I did, the parking attendant said she would have
taken my word for it and not issued the PCN - I had a quick and
pleasant chat with her, and fully accepted that having written
it out she couldn't just rip it up, which is totally
understandable.
