parking ticket outside Macdonalds

[mg0330]

My family and I are in Vancouver for the past week and today I received a parking ticket after parking in front of Macdonalds in Richmond. We went to Macd for coffee and food then went around the neighbourhood for a stroll. When we came back there was a ticket for $61.60 (stating to be paid within 10days) issued by a private parking company. It states that we parked on private property. The ticket was issued at 8:26pm and I did retain my receipt from Macdonald (receipt dated 7:47pm. I talked to the manager of macdonalds and she told me to dispute the case with the company as other people have encountered the same problem previously. She also states that she cannot do anything about it as the property is under DPS signs. Can anyone tell me what I can do to dispute this case with the company, and if there are tips to let them void the ticket?? I live in Alberta and will be going home soon so there's no way to stay around and attend this matter. Thanks a bunch!!

US law only.

However, I would photocopy the receipt and email it to the nice person on the other end of the phone number on the bottom of the sign.

Tell them that if you have to come back to fight this, you will countersue for damages and travel.... but only if they are being a jerk.

Good advice.

Would Canadian law allow for this cause of action?
