Thank you Hippocrates,
That is satisfying and frustrating in equal measure.
Do Adjudicators not speak to each other, or even read the same case law and appeal histories (even when it was one of their own prior appeals)?
I feel for the person/ people who have had their appeals denied, when there is clear guidance that Adjudicators feel there is ambiguity or the PCN is quoting the wrong contravention code.
Remember though, that the 29J contravention just at this junction (where numerous Adjudicators have judged it to be incorrect) has been issued over 9,500 times and (at £80 each) would have generated "income" for the council of over £750,000, which could be doubled if they were all at the full £160 rate. Over 70% have been cancelled or successfully appealed with clear guidance from the Adjudicator that the charged contravention is just plain wrong.
