Hi @cp8759. I have written the response in post 28. Could you please check and confirm/edits please before I submit it tonight?

Thank you so much for your support and guidance on this.

Kind Regards


@Admiration I think the text you've put in reply 22 above is fine, if nobody suggests anything additional within the next couple of days I suggest you submit it.

@Admiration I don't have anything to add to your proposed draft. In all honesty, I don't think there is anything you could possibly say that would actually persuade the council to cancel the PCN, but if you get lucky they might mess up the response.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193 and I abide by the SPMF service standards.

Thanks @cp8759. Are you suggesting that there are slim chances of the pcn getting cancelled? or I got it wrong?

Kind Regards

I think you only get a fair chance at the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, but you can't appeal to the tribunal until you get a formal Notice of Rejection from the council.

Hi @cp8759, I was travelling so did not get chance to share this earlier. I received it with date printed as 31st July 2024.

1. They have not offered 50% discount.
2. They have declined all the points I raised.
3. They have asked to pay within 28 days or pay higher fee.

Please advise what should I do now as next step?

@Admiration well if the discount is not on offer then you might as well appeal, as you can't end up any worse off and you might win or the council might not contest the appeal.

I'll drop you a PM in case you'd like to be represented.

Thanks @cp8759.

Does it mean that if I don't win the appeal, I will pay £70 (and nothing extra)?

When and how did you submit your reps pl?

I see that 'Parked in a loading place during restricted hours without loading' in the PCN and NTO has now become 'parked in a loading bay...' in the NOR.

Why can't they use the correct grounds? If a 'loading place' was synonymous with a 'loading bay', then the Secretary of State for Transport, who no doubt was a busy person, would not have prescribed 'parked in a loading place or bay ..'

Outcome.

Well done :)
How refreshing to have an adjudicator not only illustrate his decision, but also give thorough consideration of most of the p;oints raised in the appeal.
