I was asked last night what timescales are normally involved in these cases... Didn't have an idea.
Anything i can update her with?

They have 56 days to respond.
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.

Call the council on 16 December for an update and if they've issued a NoR and it's in the post, see if they can email you a copy. If they haven't, raise a complaint about the lack of a notice of acceptance.

Can't really say until we see the text of the rejection, but if they've not re-offered the discount, it is a no-brainer to take them to adjudication.

Nor copies attached

Perhaps i am being flippant, but their assumption that their letter is 'substantially compliant' is rather akin to saying a woman is slightly pregnant..  either she is or she isn't , and likewise so is their letter.
They also claim that tribunals have agreed with this, it would appear they have not looked at the rejections we posted

CP  did they look at them?

Apart from this, is it worth  putting DD reasoning on the dates being incorrect?

I am not not great of putting into words a fluent case for the Tribunal. Are there any templates that might be available

TIA

We don't like "substantial complianced" either, but until a High Court rules it is not allowed we are stuck with it. It's a bit like worn yellow lines; provided they are visible enough they are compliant.

Just a heads up to CP

Were the links you supplied looked at?

I notice that the 35.00 is still on the table

Case now closed.. Due to zero responses she has decided to pay.

Thanks for all the help prior
