Free Traffic Legal Advice

You have time.

Hiya, just wondering what my next steps are please? Do i go ahead and appeal for an independent adjudicator online at londontribunals website? Are there any points that I specifically need to include?
I assume the ONLY grounds of appeal applicable would be where it says 14 days to pay the discount but it was longer? -
"The penalty exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case. e.g. You are being asked to pay the wrong
amount for the penalty charge. The Penalty Charge Notice has not been served or was served out of time. The Authority should
normally send you the PCN within 28 days of the alleged contravention, but they sometimes have longer."


Just worried as the council's online portal says the pcn fine will go up to £240 tomorrow.

If I lose the tribunal will I have to pay the £240 - or is it the full charge of £160? Or is it worth to just pay the £80 now? I'm just really worried about the whole thing and it's stressing me out.

Thank you!

If one loses at the adjudicators, London Tribunal, the maximum is the full PCN penalty.

So it would be £160 and not the £80 half price discount? But then online it says it will go up to £240? Many thanks.

This is the point upon which to appeal.

Is it required to do an online hearing - or results by post is enough?

Never, ever ask for a decision on papers. Opt for a personal ( = by telephone or video) hearing. This gives the Adjudicator a chance to ask questions of you and assess your credibility, and you a chance to emphasis certain points in yr defence.

I am offering to do this one.
