CAZ PCN Rejection Traffic Penalty Tribunal - Bradford
« on: »
Hi,

After previously submitting a witness statement to appeal the CAZ received in Bradford the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator has rejected the appeal. The vehicle itself is a Euro 6 car so ULEZ exempt in the city, which was previously explained in the initial appeal submission but this seems to have been wrongly brushed off. What are my options now?

Thanks

And please be quick to post up the tribunal decision. There are strict time limits to apply for a review.
Does this involve a licensed taxi or PHV?

I can’t find the witness statement submitted at the time having looked through emails just now but it was basically along the lines of the car in question is Euro 6 ULEZ compliant and when entering the registration number on the Bradford CAZ site this confirms the same. Screenshots to show were uploaded too.
This is in relation to where the car was previously used as a PHV but at the time of incident in question was insured under regular motor insurance with no PHV stickers or badges on the car.

The Traffic Tribunal response was as follows:

Following the witness statement you submitted to City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, we wrote to you offering a further 14 days to pay the penalty charge.
The penalty charge has not been paid. As a result, the case was referred to the adjudicator at the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
Please find enclosed the decision made by the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
The decision of the Adjudicator is final.

Adjudicator's Reasons
The appellant has not provided evidence to substantiate the witness statement declaration made to the Traffic Enforcement Centre as requested and has not established a right of appeal to the independent adjudicator.
The authority remains entitled to enforce the penalty of £120 and the daily charge of £X

Slow down and list the sequence of events.

A witness statement is filed for:

- You did not receive the postal Penalty Charge Notice or Notice to Owner in question
- You made representations about the Penalty Charge Notice to the enforcement authority concerned but did not receive a Notice of Rejection from that authority
- You appealed to the adjudicator against the rejection by the enforcement authority of your representations but had no response to the appeal
- You had paid the penalty charge in full.

Over to you.

Exactly!

OP, you posted:
After previously submitting a witness statement to appeal the CAZ received in Bradford the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator has rejected the appeal.

No, TPT have not rejected the appeal.

(6) Where a witness statement contains such a statement as is mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) or (c)(i) or (ii), the charging authority may refer the case to an adjudicator, who may give such directions as the adjudicator considers appropriate, and the provisions of Part 4 of the Schedule are to apply.


b)made representations to the charging authority under regulation 8 but did not receive a notice of rejection from that charging authority;

(c)appealed to an adjudicator under regulation 11 against the rejection by that charging authority of representations made by that person under regulation 8 but—

(i)had no response to the appeal; or

(ii)the appeal had not been determined by the time that the charge certificate had been served;

As TPT made clear, the adjudicator directed you to substantiate your WS and in default- because you failed to respond- directed that you pay the penalty charge. No appeal because the adjudicator refused to register the case.

So as per stamfordman, over to you.

You can't find your WS grounds to TEC;
What you've written aren't grounds for submitting a WS, they're representations which must be made to the authority;
You received a direction from the tribunal but failed to act upon it.
