Should I challenge this PCN on the basis that the delay in extending my parking session was caused by a RingGo app malfunction?
Would this count as mitigating circumstances, or could Westminster be at fault for procedural impropriety if they fail to properly consider the evidence?

I paid 13 minutes after the PCN was issued — the delay was entirely due to the app freezing, and I have timestamped proof.
