Private parking tickets / Re: Lost in court

My defense is that it is out of my control due to the breakdown. The hearing was on 19/02/2025, and I received the letter on 24/02/2025. The deadline to pay is 13/03/2025 at 4 PM.

Thank you for your reply.

I am the defendant, but my husband was the driver.

The judge stated that, despite the breakdown, "the defendant's vehicle being broken down and waiting for recovery does not prevent the purchase of further tickets."

Is there anything I can do?

Private parking tickets / Lost in court

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
