As ummmm says,was an ambulance called.
Were you the only person attending the collapsed man?
The tribunal assessing the appeal may say that if there were others attending the man that you should have parked properly and THEN helped.
I don't say this myself,I am only pointing out what they may say.
I think the most important thing is PROOF of the collapse of the man.If you cannot provide concrete evidence your appeal may fail.
Parking Appeal Tribunals have "heard it all before" and will be very cynical and disbelieving,so just be prepared, or you could be in for a shock.
I wish you well.

I left the ambulance service recently after 15 years front line emergency work and now employed as a nurse so I am used to dealing with this sort of problem, I dont think about the consequences of stopping to help someone it is a natural response as in most people, I parked my car in a car space off the main road to allow traffic to pass, I assesed the situation and recommended hospital treatment but the old guy wanted to go shopping for his wife and get home so he refused an ambulance, I gave him a lift to the supermarket and again wished him well and left. No one else stopped.

I see where your coming from dan but I,am not joking, I,ve even been to the supermarket in question to see if I can find the old guy, I,ve asked the staff there if they knew him in case he,s a regular customer, he,s an easily reconisable bloke with an old red leather bag, I would have thought someone might remember him, he cant live far from the scene.
