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.
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.


We were talking of defamation, where Graham (I think) would suffer a £20
admin charge from the lease company, even if the PCN was issued incorrectly.

Since the £20 is a contractual obligation between Graham's company and
the lease company, he cannot bluff anyone or expect the lease company to
give up.
