Thank you very much for taking time to write out your detailed response. This has provided me with a lot of insight which I didn’t previously have.

The parking packet which I have disposed of  stated “parking charge notice” and not “penalty charge notice”.

I have now attached the notice and the SJP.As you can see, the notice states the reasoning for being “out of bays”. Which is not a reason that appears on the sign. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I received a parking charge notice (not penalty charge notice) for parking in a Merseyrail (train company) car park outside of the reserved bays (on the curb). I decided to ignore it as the sign (photo attached) did not state I had to park within the reserved bays and I didn’t park on a double yellow. To my surprise, I have just received a Single Justice Procedure stating that I have committed a criminal offence and will be taken to a magistrates if I don’t plead guilty.The notice reads“It is an offence to park your vehicle other than in accordance with the operators instructions”The notice also states I contravened Merseyrail Byelaw 14(2). 14.2 No person in charge of any motor vehicle, bicycle or other conveyance shall leave or place it on any part of the railway:(i) in any manner or place where it may cause an(ii) obstruction or hindrance to the Operator or any person using the railway; or (iii)otherwise than in accordance with any instructions issued by or on behalf of the Operator or an authorised person.“I have 2 issues that I need advice on:1. Is an SJP justified or should this be dealt with in a small claims court? (I’m guessing so because its a byelaw but just need confirmation).2. Given that I parked on the curb, not causing an obstruction, leaving more than enough space for both cars to drive past and people to walk by on the pavement, would I stand a good chance in court challenging this?Thanks [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
