Havering PCN 31J Main road/Upper Brentwood road rm2
« on: »
Good afternoon, I have just received a pcn for trying to turn right through a yellow box. As I passed through the box my exit was clear until a vehicle (EF15 NKE) switched lanes causing me to stop in the yellow box. what are my chances of winning an appeal with Havering Council?

Do you own the car yourself, or is it hired/leased?

In that case your chances of winning are (almost) 100%. The PCN has been served on you outside the 28 days allowed in the legislation.

Does the 28days count upto getting the letter?

Service is assumed to be two business days after posting = 22 July.

Alleged offence 21 June

PCN served on day 32 (21 June is day 1)

NB although the PCN is void due to missing the deadline for service, due to the way the process works you still have to submit representations to this effect and have them accepted by Havering. If you ignore it, they will win by default.

Let us know if you want some draft representation wording or if you are ok to handle it yourself.

Also the PCN is missing mandatory information provided at 4.8 (v):

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;

I would not use this as I do not want them educated - yet.

****************

I suggest:

Dear Havering

You have served this PCN out of time.

Please cancel it forthwith. Should you not agree to do so and force me to go to the Tribunal, I shall without any hesitation be claiming costs.

Thanks for the help so far.
If I make representation for the out of time PCN should I also state about the fact the other car moved into my space preventing me from exiting the box?

No - if the PCN is out of time it is a nullity.

If for some reason it gets that far, you can still mention the other point at a future adjudication, even if you didn't raise it now.

Thanks for all your help.
should my representation to Havering be the short paragraph HIPPOCRATES suggested or does it need more meat on it?

Less is more :)

The more you add, the higher likelihood Havering will just respond to the other bits and completely ignore the fact the PCN is void.

But is an authority whose systems issued this in the first place to be relied upon to know the difference between 'issue' and 'service'?

I wouldn't risk it.

Dear Havering

You have served this PCN out of time.[for the following reason:

'...no penalty charge notice may be served under this Act after the expiry of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the alleged contravention or failure to comply occurred.' (S6 of London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 refers).] This PCN was served on day 32.

Please cancel it forthwith. Should you not agree to do so and force me to go to the Tribunal, I shall without any hesitation be claiming costs.

Would be my suggested change.
