#3 Lost in court
on 10 Mar, 2025 17:57 in Private parking tickets
Hi,I hope someone can help me with this situation.My husband was driving my car when he parked it for 2 hours. When he came back, the car wouldn't start, so he called the AA. While waiting for their arrival, someone else jump-started the car, and he canceled the call-out. However, we received a ticket for overstaying by 25 minutes. We initially ignored the ticket, and they took us to court. We submitted a statement explaining what had happened, although we didn't have evidence at the time. Unfortunately, the judge ruled against us, stating that my husband should have paid for the extra time.A day after the hearing, we finally received a letter from the AA confirming the call-out, so we now have evidence.Is there anything we can do to appeal this decision?Thank you, J
