Well I had my day in court. Even better I won, with £300 of costs awarded to me. Events turned my way on Friday when Gladstones emailed me to say that no one would be attending court and they claimed to have told the court the same. Well the Judge knew nothing of that. But he went through their evidence until he started on the signage. He dismissed the case then. A chat about their unreasonable actions led to the judge summarily settling on £300, I'd asked for more but one can't have everything! It was all over in 20 minutes.

Same car park, same claim only evidence they have is photographs. My defence may be slightly different as the PCN they put onto the drivers car had the wrong VRN number. Signage is awful, non illuminated, ambiguous and doesn't comply with IPC code. Signage shown to be on the site map isn't correct. Letter to keeper non compliant, letter before court non compliant. I could go on. Once case is dealt with I'll post all of my defence / evidence.

I'm in court with them on 12th September. Exactly the same thing. I expect to win and I expect them to pay my costs.
