Court? Parking tickets (penalty notices) in the UK have their appeals handled by the issuing organisation. Most commonly a city-, district- or county-council.

  If you end up in court you've done something very wrong. Or they've done something very wrong. You can usually seek judicial review of government decisions for such reasons as bias ("they have a policy of giving tickets to black people!"), procedural fairness ("I turned up for my appeal but they refused to let me speak!"), or abuse of discretion ("when I turned up for my appeal, they listened to me, then flipped a coin and said that heads meant that I lost!").

  It's a little more complicated in the UK. Street parking is managed by councils. There are legal requirements for signage and for waiting times before you get a ticket, and you can appeal on either basis. Off-street parking is often managed by third party businesses, which are various kinds of shady. In some situations there's no legal obligation to pay a fine to the third party. They rely on drivers not knowing this. There's a separate criminal track where you commit a parking offence, such as obstruction. You can make an informal appeal, but if you want to challenge this seriously you need a very good reason, a good idea of the law, and you may need to attend a hearing. A bot is ideal for dealing with shady businesses and may make some headway with the council. I can't see it being much use for criminal track appeals.
