Euro car park Court Case
DIR By: Berge

Hiya,
So my wife got a ticket for staying in a car park over the
stated free duration. They had signage as they entered the car
park stating that the time had come down from 3 hours to 2 but
they had not changed all of the signs in the car park and she
didn't see the one out front. She had the ticket come through, I
went down to the car park and took a picture of the sign that
said you had 3 hours that still had not been taken down a couple
of weeks later and sent it to them as part of the appeal which
they rejected.
After that I just left it because I've literally sent the same
company valid pictures of parking tickets which they rejected.
Where do I stand on defending this? Can I send the court the
picture and just let it be that. I've not had to go through any
official proceedings like this before and the language is a bit
over the top and I don't really understand the process.

Post up the most recent letter you have received. Obviously you
redact personal info.

In your opening post you mentioned an appeal, as well as an
image you had taken of the signage. We could do with seeing both
of these. A copy of the original PCN would also be useful.
You also mention that your wife 'got a ticket' - who is the
court claim addressed to, you or your wife?

All the correspondence is sent to me and not my wife.
The original sign picture is on my old phone but this is the
exact same sign I found online.

The original copy of PCN is long gone unfortunately.
Digging through my email it looks like I might not of appealed
the ticket. I cant imagine I didn't but I have no record of it

Do you no longer have it? The reason I ask is that one of the
points of your defence could be that the signage on the site
indicated a maximum stay of 3 hours, which the driver did not
exceed. Your evidence of this would be your picture taken at the
time showing this. An image with an uncertain date obtained off
the internet is obviously less compelling as evidence.
There's a good chance this will be discontinued either way, but
where you would appear to have a strong defence on the facts
we'd ideally lead with those.

Silly question; does your phone back up to a cloud?
Think carefully, is there any email which you sent which could
contain the picture of the sign?
If you can produce a picture of that sign, ideally geo stamped,
then this is a slam-dunk.

It for certain wouldn't be geostamped. I know people who work at
stores around the car park so could get testimonies from them if
needed to prove the sign was up. It was up for ages.
So what I'm getting if I can prove that incorrect sign was there
then that's a pretty solid defence
