I would wait until you get their evidence pack and then post the summary here, that is if they contest.

I have not received any pack from them. I waited as you mentioned but we didn’t receive any.

The first step is to register the appeal with London Tribunals, and if I were you I'd request a Microsoft Teams hearing if you can or a telephone hearing so you can speak to the adjudicator.

The instructions should be on the rejection letter.

You can upload material later and I'll help you with that and you already have some cases to cite - it's the absence of signs saying you must use RingGo that is key here.

Hi @stamfordman , I haven’t received any instructions to update any thing or send anything as evidence.
Do you think that it ok ? Or have I missed something?

Telephone the Tribunal and explain no evidence pack has been received - ask for cancellation or adjournment.

Please also repost the email giving hearing date.

If they haven't sent anything then you'll win this by default. They must send the pack in advance of the hearing - someone else will know the deadline.

Do not ask for a postponement.

But I guess it could have gone missing.

Redbridge site showing £80 outstanding.

I think you should just attend the hearing online and say no pack was received. I guess the adjudicator will either adjourn the case if Redbridge did send it or find in your favour.

Sure , I will attend tomorrow and say I haven’t received any evidence pack.

If the council website is showing the 80£ , does that mean we don’t have a chance ? Or the council is assuming they will win ?

Either way I’ll post the outcome tomorrow.

Hi , what would be the tribunal process ? Should I be preparing anything in advance ?

OP, this is the Practice Direction issued by the Chief Adjudicator:

https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Practice%20Direction%2002-2025%20on%20behalf%20of%20ETA%2019%20August%202025%20-%20Service%20of%20evidence%20by%20Enforcement%20Authorities.pdf

It is unlikely that the adjudicator would adjourn should an evidence pack not have been served either on you, by post, or to the Tribunal. Their normal line is that as the Tribunal has overriding obligations to dispose of appeals efficiently and fairly, having regard to the use of the Tribunal's resources and parties' conduct, then it would not be in the interests of the former to adjourn.

Remember, the adjudicator's position is NOT that they side with the authority so what's your excuse, it's a neutral position which starts with the authority having to prove to the adjudicator's satisfaction on the balance of probabilities that a contravention occurred and that the penalty has been enforced properly.

I have received the evidence pack in post. I the evidence They mentioned that,  “when I try to pay the pay by phone would have shown location name , which I missed. “
Which I must have , I’m
Not sure. I’m new to that location , we parked to eat , with 2 kids I must have I’m not sure I saw that 1st time. It doesn’t show in the receipt . But when I was extending the parking , it did show location , I went out to cross check the location number. I genuinely wasn’t aware that location numbers could be same.

They are required to serve the pack at least 5 days before the hearing so I would expect the adjudicator to allow your appeal. But you must say so!

Case reference   2250295803
Appellant   Lynda Syalon
Authority   London Borough of Redbridge
VRM   DA64WOY
   
PCN Details
PCN   AF30963793
Contravention date   30 Apr 2025
Contravention time   15:12:00
Contravention location   Waterloo Road
Penalty amount   GBP 160.00
Contravention   Fail comply restriction vehicles entering ped zone
   
Referral date   -
   
Decision Date   02 Sep 2025
Adjudicator   Sean Stanton-Dunne
Appeal decision   Appeal allowed
Direction   cancel the Penalty Charge Notice and the Notice to Owner.
Reasons   Mrs Syalon has attended the hearing today by telephone link.
The Council is required to serve its evidence for the appeal on the appellant no later than 5 days before the hearing. The Council sent a letter to Mrs Syalon on Friday 29 August 2025 enclosing the evidence pack. Mrs Syalon has confirmed that, as of today, she has not received the evidence from the Council. That is unsurprising as the earliest deemed date of service would have been today. The Council has failed to comply with the service requirement. It would clearly be unfair and prejudicial to Mrs Syalon to proceed with a hearing in these circumstances and the appeal is therefore allowed.

I have received the evidence pack in post.  . . .

This morning, I presume.

In your position I would tell the adj. that the Evidence Pack had been delivered this morning, see what the reaction was, and if he was then minded to press on ask him to grant an adjournment so I could consider the evidence.

But see what others say.

EDIT - crossed with  Stamfordman - I agree with his advice.

Any date on Redbridge's letter with the Evidence Pack?

I wouldn't even look at the pack. They are out of time and considering it would be prejudicial to you and the Tribunal's Practice Direction is clear on this.

Case reference   2250338371
Appellant   Maureen Medley
Authority   London Borough of Redbridge
VRM   ET06VUX
   
PCN Details
PCN   AF08936412
Contravention date   03 Apr 2025
Contravention time   11:47:00
Contravention location   Malcolm Way
Penalty amount   GBP 130.00
Contravention   Parked resident/shared use without a valid permit
   
Referral date   -
   
Decision Date   13 Oct 2025
Adjudicator   Cordelia Fantinic
Appeal decision   Appeal allowed
Direction   cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Reasons   1. The Appellant attended in person. The Authority did not attend and had not been expected to.
2. The Appellant told me that she received the Authority's evidence pack by post on Saturday 10 October 2025. The Evidence Checklist confirms that the evidence was posted to the Appellant on 9 October 2025.
3. The Tribunal's Practice Direction no. 2 of 2025 states that Authorities must serve their evidence no later than five days before the first scheduled date of hearing of the appeal. The five days take into account weekends and Bank holidays. This is to ensure that an Appellant receives the evidence three clear working days before the hearing.
4. The Authority was notified of today's hearing date on 24 July 2025. It is unclear why the evidence was not sent before 9 October. The Authority has failed to comply with the Practice Direction and there is no explanation before me as to why the Authority was unable to comply.
5. The Appellant has attended the hearing centre today and I do not consider it appropriate to direct an adjournment of today's hearing to enable three clear days' service, and to then require the Appellant to attend again due to the Authority's failure to comply with a practice direction.
6. The Authority has not complied with the practice direction. The Authority has not put forward any explanation. An Appellant is prejudiced by late service of evidence as it does not provide adequate time for them to prepare their case. In the circumstances I find that the appeal should be allowed.

Sure both , thank you somuch . Will do.

I have a question .

Would I be given a chance to speak about evidence pack ? Or Should I mention about the late arrival of evidence pack ahead.

When can I mention case references you have helped with ? Would there be enough time to discuss the below case references?

Re: Redbridge council parking ticket

Just say to the adjudicator that the pack only arrived this morning and you understand this breaches the tribunal direction of at least 5 days before the hearing and would he/she allow the appeal.

You can add this seems to be a pattern with Redbridge as can be seen with the recent allowed appeals 2250338371 and 2250295803.
