Stopped in Disabled Mc Donalds
« on: »
I just got back from holiday to this. I only have until tomorrow now to appeal in the £60 period. I was with my son who was desperate for the toilet. There wasn't any parking at all so I left it there for about 3 minutes if I remember correctly. I even ordered chips whilst he was in there and then we left.

Is there anything I can do?

I viewed their photos online and the have me photographed from 11.33 - 11.34 only.

Hi. I have today to get back to them. Is there any point appealing?

The links in the opening post are not working at the moment, however, when I did manage to see the NtK it appeared to be PoFA compliant, which means that if the driver is not identified, they can transfer liability to the keeper.

I cannot really see any defence to this PCN. The driver parked in a disabled bay without displaying a valid blue badge. You even admit to going inside to make purchase whilst waiting for your son to use the bathroom.

On what basis do you think you can appeal?

I don't to be honest. I just thought I would ask if there was some kind of procedural impropriety. Gutted really as I wouldn't usually do that if it wasn't for my son so desperate and it was absolutely packed. The fact they have only photographed and sent 1 minutes worth, could I say I was literally just that long?

Not if it isn't true, which from your account, it isn't. Lying to avoid an alleged debt is a bad idea.

The breach of terms is nothing to do with the duration of the stay. It is for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a blue badge. Did anyone in the vehicle have a blue badge or any protected characteristic recognised under the Equality Act 2010?
