Default Suing for frivolous parking ticket

Hmmm, by paying 1 pound for an hour at 17:05 you should get an hour's
parking therefore your ticket should be valid until 9:35 the following
morning if the chargeable time is until 17:30 (Every car-park that I've
ever
used near the end of the paid-for time has issued me with such a ticket
though I don't know if it's universal).

As for making a stand, what's the point? Maybe a mistake has been made?
Have
you never made a mistake? Just send a note back with the evidence and you
will surely get the ticket rescinded.


I think the point is, why should he have to? He has committed no offence and
yet he has to go to time and trouble to prove his innocence!


Because in London and when dealing with local authorities you are
guilty until proven innocent
