You forgot perhaps to read to the end of the article:

Quote:
However, last month Bow County Court ruled in the council's favour and Mr Noon has now been ordered to repay the £20,000 plus £7,500 in costs.

"There is a standard procedure for challenging parking fines," the council spokeswoman said.

"This was just an abuse of the whole legal system."


So the courts agreed : he only won the judgement in the first instance because no-one turned up from the council to contest it initially.
