A clever 19-year-old has invented the world's first robot lawyer for consumers, which can perform tasks as diverse as challenging car parking tickets, seeking compensation for delayed flights and helping with PPI compensation.

The robot communicates with users of the donotpay.co.uk http://www.donotpay.co.uk/signup.php website, set up by student entrepreneur Joshua Browder in 2015.

Browder first came up with the idea of the site after he received an abundance of parking tickets from Camden council. Discovering he had a knack for successfully challenging the tickets, he set up the site, which helped others to challenge their tickets.

The site soon took off and being unable to respond to all the emails he received, the resourceful teenager created a computer program that could talk to users, generate appeals and answer questions like a human.

Free for consumers to use 24 hours a day, the robot skills are broadening the more it communicates with users. Browder hopes that it will mean that in the future people will not have to pay expensive legal fees to challenge decisions and claim compensation.

Basically you answer the automatically generated questions and it spits out a standard appeals letter for you to use..costs nowt and maybe worth a try if you haven't got a clue how to appeal. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

Just had a pcn notice through because the wife's head was full of mince just before Christmas and overstayed a 45 minute free bay ffs! There was no ticket on the car , pcn was the first we knew about it,don't suppose there is any defence ?? £60 fine for a free space!

You could ask for proof of the ticket issuance (they usually take a photograph of it in place to prove it was issued / applied to the vehicle)

Worth a try mebbe unless the signage was unclear, and it that case, that's a legitimate defence. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
