Free Traffic Legal Advice

I'm looking for some opinions on whether I have grounds to pursue an appeal to London Tribunals.

My vehicle, registration **GD15 WKY**, was parked in a residents' bay and received two Code 12R PCNs (parked in a residents' or shared-use bay without a valid permit).

* **PCN ZN21418576** (unpaid): issued on **22/05/2026 at 17:20**
* **PCN ZN21525543** (paid): issued on **23/05/2026 at 10:41**

The two PCNs were issued only about **17 hours apart**, and the vehicle was not moved at any point between them. It remained in exactly the same parking space throughout. I only realised after making a notice of rejection? that the 2 pcns were within 24hours of each other.

I never knew about the first PCN. When I returned to the car, the first ticket was no longer on the windscreen, so I had no idea it had been issued. The only PCN I found was the second one, which I paid promptly.

Several weeks later I received a Notice to Owner for the first PCN, which was the first time I became aware that it even existed.

I made representations to Haringey explaining the above, excluding pointing out the hour difference between them, but they have now issued a **Notice of Rejection of Representations**.

I'm posting to seek your advice. I have till the 22nd to pay the reduced £80.

Notice to owner
Notice of rejection of representations

Pl post the flawed NOR in focus.

> I note that you left your address visible on the NTO and I see that you live on the same street, so do you not have a valid permit to park in this area?

It had expired. I renewed when I got the ticket and realised it had expired.

I don't know what you mean. It's been scanned by a scanner with 600dp, and the hosted images are very much in focus to me.

All posts have been checked for focus, with all but the first ones being at 600dp.

Now hosted on the preferred provider

Thank you.

Fatal procedural improprieties IMO.

By virtue of the NOR stating

'You have 28 days from the date of this letter being served(delivered) to:

....
Appeal to the Parking Adjudicator...

and reinforcing this time period by stating:

If, after 28 days, you have taken no action we may send you a Charge Certificate increasing the charge from £160 to £240...

I submit that the authority has failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of the Appeals Regulations as follows:

6(6)(a)(i), as regards the circumstances under which the authority may serve a Charge Certificate, specifically they have misstated the 28-day period and failed to state 'serve' but instead have used 'send'.

6(6)(a)(iii), as regards the form and manner in which an appeal to the adjudicator must be made. Specifically, they have misstated the 28-day period.

I ask that the adjudicator finds that these are procedural improprieties and therefore allows this appeal.



 

Also wondering if it's worth raising as part of the appeal 1. Continuous contravention and 2. failure to to consider the representations.
