The convictions for illegal parking were upheld because the appellant admitted the offences and none of his asserted defences (legitimate expectation, discrimination, Basic Law infringement, or s.12 statutory defences) were applicable; the double penalty under s.20(3) was appropriate but costs were excessive at $800 per summons and were reduced to $600 per summons given consolidation and limited trial time; installment payment was permitted and enforcement under s.22(2)(b) Cap.237 was directed if payment defaulted.
