Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks, I would certainly do this if it were me, but he may well be sick of this after a year of being on hold to the TEC...!


For what it's worth I do appreciate that normally the most likely explanation would be that he lost the form.  However he is quite elderly but an old skool financial advisor, and he meticulously files literally everything, even the envelopes they arrive in.

IMO, the keeper may not engage the TEC procedure because a NOR has been issued, it's just deficient in some details. The fact that the tribunal has been contacted bears witness to the fact that it was received.

And how about this ground?:

You appealed to the adjudicator against the rejection by the enforcement authority of your representations but had no response to the appeal

If the email rep is taken to have been received (as per their instructions) and yet the enforcement process continues, is this not a valid ground?

At the moment it's a choice between paying a completely winnable and completely cynically-administrated (on the part of the council) fine or not.

Tribunal:

Their instructions (by telephone):
- Send it to queries@londontribunals.org.uk
- Mark it "urgent"
- Include a copy of the NOR and an outline of the appeal
(all of this was done)

n.b. re "If you did not receive a Notice of appeal form, please contact the Enforcement Authority directly to request a copy." their phone number tells you to get lost, and they have not yet replied to the email, so this doesn't work.

To whom was the NOR addressed?

If the keeper, then what in what you've submitted informs the tribunal that you have the keeper's permission to act on their behalf?

I'm not sure why they would think otherwise, as it wasn't formally signed by anyone.  Name, Address VRM, PCN no. included on the appeal to identify the case.  No name stated on the actual email.
