    You would be lucky to avoid a criminal charge under the Theft Acts 1968 and 1978 if you don't pay.

    It would appear that your ticket was Ultra Vires so I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.

    In what jurisdiction do you imagine the OP resides or parked his car?

    And what exactly does that have to do with a different poster parking his car in the Republic of Ireland in a car park which doesn't have a parking charge but which seeks to issue "tickets" for people parking inappropriately in a family space?

    How on earth can they prove you did not have a child with you that was dropped off or being collected etc unless it's on camera?

    Was there no other spaces??

    Fortunately their fines have no place in law afaik but being private property they could ban you and if you enter have you charged with trespassing!

    Anyway if its marked mother and baby and your on your own its a bit lazy and thoughtless to park there knowing its for a specific reason!

    And I suppose 'fathers' and babies shouldn't park there either as it's marked 'mother' and baby.:rolleyes:

    Do you have your own sarcastic space??

    Im sure the mother and baby sign has been around since mother and baby's only went shopping while the father was at work or in the pub.

    The OP obviously didn't have baby with him and if the parking warden seen a father and baby I'm pretty sure he could inform himself that said father had the right to park in said spot!

    Doesn't matter if your a transgender lesbian, if you don't have a baby then park in the other dozen free spots ;)

    I have the ready excuse of a child in the boot, for just such an eventuality.

    Ultra vires is not a fancy term that means illegal.

    When did these Mother & Baby parking spaces start? I can't recall seeing them before about 2002.
