Private parking tickets / Help! Parking fine taken to court - DQ/Mediate?
« on: October 30, 2024, 08:00:14 pm »
So my wife entered and parked in a private car park and she paid for her ticket and received a email confirmation of the time she paid and how long her session is valid from.
She ended up receiving a fine as she bought her ticket 2mins after the 10min grace period to purchase a ticket (she was trying to buy it within the time but no internet connection but her email confirmation shows she pid within the grace period I think?)
I should also point out the debt collection letters stated the Contravention time as 14:50, however the email receipt she has shows her ticket is valid from 14:05 - 15:05
She received parking fine letters but ignored them and now the case has been taken to court. She sent her appeal online which the court asked for and has received a DQ (Directions Questionnaire) back from the claimants solicitors notifying us the claimants intentions to the court to proceed with the claim but the next paragraph reads the claimant has elected to resolve this without court intervention through mediation ….how do we proceed and what does this mean?
Many thanks
