Free Traffic Legal Advice

We note the comments made in your represenations. However the photographs show that only one wheel of your vehicle was on the paved/roadway area. In your representations you refer to a tarmacked area. Please be aware that the roadway in this area does not have a tarmac surface.

The authority were not permitted to use address B therefore IMO your primary grounds are:

Procedural Impropriety:
Failure to serve the Notice to Owner using relevant particulars obtained from DVLA as regards the owner at the 'material time'.

As the authority will see, the NTO was addressed as follows:

Your name
********(address B).

The regulations define 'material time' as follows:

“the material time” means the time when the contravention giving rise to the penalty charge is said to have been committed.


Therefore the 'material time' was 7 November 2024 at which time your 'relevant particulars' held by DVLA were:

You..
******* (address A)

Your relevant particulars were amended by DVLA on ****(enclose a copy of your V5C and highlight the 'docref' date) following your change of address on 26 Nov.

The authority were obliged by virtue of Regulations 6 and 20 of the General Regulations to use ******* (address A) for the purposes of serving the NTO and this failure constitutes a procedural impropriety.

The contravention did not occur
**essentially the arguments given in your previous representations.
