No.
Procedural impropriety.
At the date of the contravention (PCN *****) my registered address was ****. On 22 May 2026 during the enforcement process I instructed the council to use a different address because I had moved. This was acknowledged by the council's action in sending a letter dated 12 June to the new address. I therefore had no doubt that when the OfR was issued I would receive this in a timely fashion.
But I did not.
The council addressed the OfR to my old address despite my clear instructions to the contrary. This did not come to my attention until after 20 August, this being the latest date for submission of an in-time Statutory Declaration. As my 'Out of time' submission, with reasons, was copied to the council and not challenged, it clearly recognised and admitted its procedural error. But despite this it has issued a NTO. Although this has now been issued to my correct address for correspondence, the council cannot make up for its previous serious procedural error which is proved objectively by the evidence and therefore must accept these representations under the ground of procedural impropriety.
NB. Include your evidence
