I've had a ticket with Lewisham council parking at Halesworth Road. I paid for parking at 11:03 but the ticket was issued at 11:01 by point was that there were issues with the system, I did not see the parking inspector at the time and I had paid for parking.

I took this to tribunal, but at the time they needed consent from me as the vehicle belonged to my brother, I had sent evidence to London tribunal, they claim I haven't I called up to confirm I have and resubmitted the evidence and they've reinvestigated case.

the decision was then made on 2nd may but I have yet to hear the outcome, I called up and they've told me I needed to wait for a letter.

Today I find a letter in the post from Lewisham Council stating they're looking to recover the fees - it appears London Tribunal have not informed them of the case being reopened.

I am worried about having to pay these fees when I shouldn't because its still under investigation but also, I've paid for my parking therefore should not have suffered a pcn.

Unable to find the original PCN letter has its lost somewhere with the other plethora of parking tickets.

The tribunal publish the results of appeals on their website. I can't find anything for "Halesworth Road" this year, or any Lewisham decisions on the 2nd May, but if you have the PCN number you should be able to view the result easily. Go here https://londontribunals.org.uk/ords/pwslive/ and then click 'View the statutory register of appeals', then in the "Environment and Traffic Adjudicators (ETA)" section, click "Search". If you don't have the PCN number, try searching for Lewisham and 01 May 2024 to 31 May 2024 then look for your name, there were are only 45 that month to go through.

Let us know what you find!

So just to clarify, you appealed to London Tribunals, they refused to process the appeal as you did not send authorisation from the Registered Keeper to do so. Have you then started a new case or submitted additional evidence?

This would be more useful if we have a list of dates - "NoR issues X, Tribunal case started Y, contacted Z, replied ZZ" etc. If there was some sort of hearing on the second, this might just be a procedural one to decide if your case evidence supported allowing you to represent the RK, it could be any number of things.

Have London Tribunals confirmed the case is still open?

@amrab if you log onto the tribunal portal what does it show?

This case might be another good illustration of why postal decisions are a terrible idea.
