Just opened a Excel parking notice issue on early March 2020 - saying no ticket was displayed on the parked vehicle.
May I ask for help to see if I can appeal this - or should I just ignore? Thank you in advance. |

In a civil claim the judge will decide 'on the balance of probabilities' rather than 'proof' per se - the statement in your defence staying you weren't the driver will obviously help with that, especially as the parking company won't have any evidence to the contrary.

So it's REALLY important that you come across as honest and truthful. No evasion, answer questions succinctly and exactly. ITS OK to take a little time to consider your answer. And don't feel the need to guess either - if you don't know, state you don't know.
If asked "who drove" state "not me". If asked further then you can elaborate but don't give the persons name if yiu can avoid it. State you don't want to because it's not your place to do so, it's only a guess, whatever is true. It's not info they're entitled to demand under POFA - unlike section 172 that the police use - so they shouldn't be able to compel it through witness testimony either. |
