Hi, I have been browsing the forum trying to find the answer to my question, but cannot find it.
I am a nurse who works at a hospital, I have recently received a ccj claim form. It states that "the claimants claim is for multiple parking charges issued to vehicle when parked at the locations specified in the detailed particulars of claim the sites. The sites are managed by indigo park services. The defendant is the keeper or driver named by keeper I accordance with schedule 4 of the protection of freedom act 2012. Parking at the site is subject to parking restrictions and terms and conditions set out on signs at the site, which form part of a contract between driver or keeper. The defendant had breached these terms and conditions and the claimant claims damages and interest accordingly. Detailed claim particulars to follow.I will provide the defendant with separate detailed particulars within 14 days after service of the claim form".
I have received many parking charges at the hospital due to parking in car parks on the hospital site, which are not allocated to my permit and for at times not paying for parking.
I am debating wether I should try and defend the case or simply just pay up as I do not want a ccj recorded against me. However I am unclear on what grounds I could defend this. The trust that I work for has 2 hospitals, the 1st-parking is free. The 2nd, parking is managed by Indigo parking and is charged. My issue with paying for parking is why should staff have to pay in one hospital and not another. This seems unfair and discriminatory to me. Would I be able to defend the case on this grounds?
Sorry for the length of the post
Thanks
