Mrs Akbar faced trial on Monday at Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court.
SHARE:
Mrs Akbar received twelve parking fines on Blondin Street in Bow over the last year.
However, Akbar alleged that it was her father who was using her car, and not her. Although she is the registered user of the car, her father was the keeper.
Her father died earlier this year, so is unable to pay the fine. He was entitled to a blue badge for parking, but it did not arrive before his death.
The prosecution claimed that there was no response to eleven of the parking violations.
Further, the violations were not in blue badge parking spaces.
The judge claimed that the case relied on who was the keeper of the car, and whether the payment should come from Mrs Akbar, or from her late father’s estate.
The court adjourned and the verdict is yet to be released.
