Even if I successfully appeal the parking charge or Road Traffic Act
offence, the admin charge still stands

If you successfully appeal the parking charge then you should
counterclaim against them for the admin charge. It's a loss wholly
due to their pursuing an unenforceable claim against you.

That was my thought initially, but this is really defamation and its
consequences.

No its not, any more than receiving a speed camera fine is.
They can't even demand that you tell them who was driving the car in the
Lidl car park situation.

they no longer need to

in the absence of proof that someone else was driving, the owner (keeper) is
now liable for "fines".

Aren't we therefore talking of High Court action?

Nope, just ignore anything they send you and see them realise that their
bluff has been called and give up.

you seem to be misunderstanding the situation. They have already taken his
money from him
