Also the fact that you’re only allowed to contest an allegation within an arbitrary amount of time hardly seems in concordance with natural justice.
Presumption of guilt by default, requiring you to pay the fine before you’re allowed to contest the alleged infraction.
Absolute rules usually means less natural justice, there are times when pursuing minor violations are not in the public interest.
Best solution is to file a small claim at your local court. Near certainty it won’t be disputed due to cost-benefit of the retailer having to hire a lawyer to defend it.
