Do not pay this at all as they still do not have a proper VCA certificate. I am more than happy to represent you.

If they persist and force you to the Tribunal, costs will almost certainly be a possibility.

Draft representations:

Dear Sirs

Ref: PCN..................VRM.........................

I put you to strict proof that you possess a valid VCA certificate for your camera to satisfy the criterion of admissibility of evidence at the London Tribunal provided at Para. 7 (2) of Schedule 1 of the London Local Authorities Act 1996 (as amended).

Unless you can do so, then the PCN must be cancelled forthwith since any video evidence is inadmissible as has already been determined in many cases and one key case against viz. 2220486482 Davy Duthieuw v London Borough of Ealing.

Yours

Fast forward to last Friday

So Bromley have rejected my appeal as per the below.

Unbeknownst to me, they submitted a FOI request on my behalf which generated some unsolicited emails from "One Trust". I attach the responses from that as well. The link referred to in the PDF is https://tinyurl.com/bdcur7z3

Views welcomed!

GSV link here, thanks.

This is a mess.  My detailed records show that their new certificate is valid from 9th August 2023.  VCA ref: EDG077151 Letter Date: 22nd August.  Device: Videalert Rapidly Deployable Server (RDS) system.

Bromley was the last but one to obtain a new certificate.  Hackney was the other.

I believe I am taking care of this one.  I will send the certificate to the op and cp by e mail.

Just wait for the Enforcement Notice.

VCA have written on 10th July that no LLA Certificate had been issued or acknowledgement letter.

Hippocrates might have some ideas but looking at the correspondence this came to me:



In the meantime I've had confirmation that the camera is an AXIS Q1765-LE Network Camera.

Hippocrates might have some ideas but looking at the correspondence this came to me:

Dear London Borough of Bromley,

I note your letter of 3 October has an entire section titled "Going forward", but I disagree and think it would be best to go backwards. I therefore require you to treat my informal representations as my formal representations.

Yours faithfully,

In the meantime I've had confirmation that the camera is an AXIS Q1765-LE Network Camera.

I like the first sentence too, to be included!

Hi, our deadline of Monday is fast approaching.  I have had my response on the FOI, did you get anything back from your emails Hippocrates?

Also, due to personal circumstances, I am not currently in my marital home so I am a little bit nervous about missing anything in the post.  I have post re-direction set up but from experience it is not always 100%.

I think we are sticking to the response as below?

Dear London Borough of Bromley,

I note your letter of 3 October has an entire section titled "Going forward", but I disagree and think it would be best to go backwards. I therefore rely upon my informal representations which I require you to regard as my formal representations against the Enforcement Notice.   The alleged contravention did not occur as, at the time, your VCA certificate did not satisfy the criterion of admissibility of evidence at the Tribunal.

Yours faithfully,
