State reasons why the Defendant is not liable. A few examples have been given for reference.

If you admit to driving, you should state whether there were any issues with signs or problems with parking on the day or maybe the instructions about inputting your VRM were not clear.

No Signs: The Defendant was not aware that the land was private and there could not have entered into a contract with the Claimant
Gym: There was no clear instruction to input the VRM in any machine and therefore the driver did not do so
Resident Permit: The Defendant was authorised to park under the terms of the lease. The property has a dedicated parking space to which we have full rights to use
