1. The signage is unclear as the right hand one is facing the wrong direction to be seen.

2. I make this collateral challenge against the validity of the PCN as it is missing mandatory information as provided at Para. 4 (8 ) (v) of https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/4/enacted

(v)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of the 28 day period, an increased

charge may be payable.

Clearly, this refers to Para. 4 (8 ) (iii):


(iii)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning

with the date of the notice;


Therefore, it follows that the statement: If you fail to pay the Penalty Charge or make representations before the end of a period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice an increased charge of £240 may be payable. adds to the lack of clarity by its omission. Even on its own, whether the required information was included or not, it is also arguable that it conflates the two periods using the word "or" which many would view as being conjunctive. Furthermore, even if the statement were to be interpreted disjunctively, there is still no clarity due to the missing information.

In light of the above, I ask that the appeal be allowed.

Many thanks.

******* Please do not reply to this email *******

Dear Mr ...

Penalty Charge Notice Number: CR22907776

Vehicle Registration Number: NX18XAP

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CORRESPONDENCE

Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the issue of the above penalty charge notice.

Please note that it will be logged to the relevant team for investigation and they will respond in due course. The statutory response times are 56 for formal representations and 90 days for informal representations. Please note that the current amount due will be held whilst we are dealing with the matter."

The response times quoted are not statutory for the LLA & TfL Act 2003 which the PCN was issued under. The 56 days applies to formal reps under the Traffic Management Act 2004, and there is no statutory limit in either legislation for responding to informal representations, although most adjudicators would look askance at any response over 90 days (3 months), on the grounds of unfairness.

not surprised but awaiting Hippos return for further instructions

Like the joke, they cannot tell the difference between the date and date of service. I have offered to pay half if I lose. This is what fame does to you. In any event, @concoj bought me a bottle of champagne which greeted me upon my arrival from my island in July. 

NOR:  The PCN clearly states: "If you fail to pay the Penalty Charge or make representations before the end of a period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice an increased charge of £240 may be payable"

Therefore, clearly advises you that if you do not make payment or a representation within 28 days of the date of this notice you may be liable for an increased charge.

This laughter is actually helping my sciatica.

Torero, torero …
