I have just received a contravention from a warden for having the car without licence or licence not affixed to the windscreen.

I have had this car since 2005 and it has always had the road licence affixed to the bottom corner of the windscreen, on the passenger side. So you can im-agine my surprise when the door rang and I found the post-person handing me the contravention.

There is no doubt that I will contest this contravention in the Local Tribunal but what I ask is: Can I take this warden who just slams contraventions with no foundation to court myself?

Is there a way of asking for compensation from the warden personally and/or from the company employing him/her for waste of time, undue stress, false accusations and whatever other charges there can be? Or are the wardens above everyone and everything? Can they just do whatever they like without being ever responsible for their actions?
