Appeal Against Penalty Charge Notice - Reference [JK11236403]
Dear Southwark Council,
I am writing to formally challenge the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) issued to [MJ21DGV] on [3 May] for [Code 52].
Our challenge is based on the provisions outlined in the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003, specifically Section 6, paragraph (1). This section stipulates that no penalty charge notice may be served after the expiration of 28 days from the date of the alleged contravention.
Upon review of the circumstances surrounding the issuance of the PCN, it is evident that the notice was served beyond the statutory 28-day period. The PCN was deemed served on Wednesday the 8th of May 2024, which exceeds the allowable timeframe as per the 2003 Act.
Reference:Traffic Management Act 2004 :
The PCN is deemed to have been served on the date 2 days following the date on which the PCN was posted. PCNs may be served by first class (but not second class) post within the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the contravention
Therefore, we assert that the Penalty Charge Notice is null and void due to non-compliance with the statutory requirements outlined in the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003. As such, we request the cancellation of the charge and the closure of this matter.
I kindly ask for your prompt attention to this appeal and look forward to receiving confirmation that the Penalty Charge has been cancelled.
Yours faithfully,
