PCN not printed correctly/clearly
« on: February 11, 2024, 07:50:51 pm »
Hi,

Received a PCN. Just noticed that it is printed poorly (see attached). Just wondering if this is grounds to appeal? Thanks for any thoughts!

Kind regards

Not printed very well, is it, but to get a decision on its validity you'd invariable have to take them to London Tribunals with the full PCN penalty in play.  The only argument which could be valid is missing or unreadable content. 

Content of Regulation 9 PCNs (yours, served by a CEO to the car or driver), is defined in two places.

Here: -
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/71/part/2/made
see 9 (7) for (a)
and here: -
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2022/9780348232752/part/2/chapter/1
see 3(1) for (b)

So if you want a punt, submit reresentations on the basis that the PCN is invalid because the content is not compliant with the regulations (those above they have titles as you will see if you open the links).

Please re-post the PCN without any redactions and we'll provide proper advice, see the detailed guidance here.
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 nor 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.

Humph, I think the word should be "fuller" rather than "proper" !

Ok fair enough.
