Private parking tickets / Re: Parking Eye PCN 7 minutes

@b789 I've just received a reply to your above draft, having added that due to sudden illness, no-one actually left the vehicle, and we therefore left after 7 minutes.
Their following reply (below) doesn't address the question about their legal right to enforce parking on this land, since the closure of the hotel, whilst saying this is the final shot at their internal appeal procedure. Is this worth pursuing, or am I as well just to pay the currently discounted rip off?:-
