I have looked at the Tribunal case for this specific case you have quoted 2240406329 I cannot seem to find it.

The number is correct.
Here's another.

2240372023
At this scheduled personal hearing the Appellant attended in person but the Enforcement Authority did not attend and were not represented.
A contravention can occur if a vehicle is parked, waiting, loading or unloading in restricted street when a waiting, loading/unloading restriction is in force.
There appears to be no dispute that the vehicle was at this location, or that the Penalty Charge Notice was issued to it, as shown in the photographs/digital images produced by the Enforcement Authority.
The Appellant’s case is that is that he is a licenced private hire vehicle driver and was setting down a disabled passenger at the Premier Inn Hotel and had to assist him to the premises. The Appellant adds that when he returned, he explained this to the civil enforcement officer, who does not record this.
Picking up and setting down of passengers is permitted at this location. It should normally take no longer than two minutes but slightly longer must be allowed in the case of the elderly, disabled or very young, who may have to be escorted to nearby premises.
I have had the opportunity of hearing the Appellant personally and accept what he tells me.
Considering all the evidence before me carefully I find as a fact that, at the material time, picking up/setting down within the meaning of the exemption was taking place and thus a contravention did not occur.
Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.
