Author Topic: Ealing, CODE 62, Parked with one or more wheels on or over footpath, Dane Road  (Read 2386 times)

0 Members and 56 Guests are viewing this topic.

I had stopped for a brief minute as a family member was feeling sick, so I pulled into the side street to give them so air.
The car was on and as I was about to take off a group of CEO came into the street taking a picture of my car.
No ticket was placed on the vehicle as I was driving off.

Do I have any grounds for appeal?

@opshelper how long were you stationary for? and how long were you stationary between the CEO first appearing and you driving off?

I was there for probably about 2 minutes, and about 30-40 seconds once I saw him.
I was trying to work out what as happening initially as there were a group of 10x of them coming all together.

A new team of CEOs under training perhaps ? So the instructor showed them how to whallop a drive-away.

It has been an offence to park off-carriageway in London since the 70s and no signs or lines are needed to convey the restriction. A nice little earner for London councils !

@cp8759 Do you think I have any leg to stand on?

@opshelper well yes: firstly parking is not stopping, so you can argue you were stationary for an amount of time that was purely nominal. Stopping on a pavement is not a contravention, only parking is.

Secondly there is an exemption under 15(3)(b) of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1974 "for the purpose of saving life or extinguishing a fire or meeting any other emergency", but you bear the burden of proving that there was an emergency.  What caused your family member to feel unwell and what symptoms did they have?

It was due to the pregnant wife feeling sick

Congrats, when is she due? Some medical evidence to confirm she is pregnant could make this a reasonably strong challenge.

Thanks, due in July, so a maternity certificate copy could work?

Should I put anything specific in the appeal

Should I put anything specific in the appeal
Well yes, if you give us the information I'll write a representation for you. Start by telling us what the symptoms were.

Also it's not an appeal at this stage, it's just a representation.

No, just pregnancy.

OK and do you have any medical paperwork you can send to the council to support your representation? Doctors letters, midwife appointments or anything like that?
