Defence
It's hard to remember what i did last week never mind over 2
years ago but after checking through my emails i did actually
reply to this original fine and offered to compensate the company
directly for £20 and the reasons i wrote on that email for parking
there was there was roadworks on the road so all parking was
suspended and I was collecting emergency supplies for someone
during covid so i pulled onto this bit of land that had no parking
bays and it basically just looked like a disused bit of space i
was unaware of the contract parking terms and conditions or even
what the fee was or fine but i thought the offer of £20 for a 32
minute stay was fair and reasonable but the cowboy parking company
thought £100 for the brief time spent there was appropriate. I was
very surprised to find that instead of accepting my reasonable
offer that i made they thought they could bully me into paying
an extortionate amount , how they can now try and justify £182 for
a 32 minute stay is beyond me and hopefully you will agree with me
judge as these cowboys need to stop being able to get away with
this. The defence that I would like to submit to you is that these
charges are disproportionate and unfair as far as I am aware under
English law, penalty clauses designed to disproportionately punish
a breach of contract are not enforceable, especially as I was not
even aware of the contract nor did I agree to it. Hopefully you
will agree that paying £100 to settle this matter is a fair
solution.
