Most of the penalties that we got in the past for cancelled as soon as we mentioned the mandatory information.
They would simply ignore it in the appeal and then PCN got cancelled.
Would it be worth a try once again?
-----------------------
The PCN is missing mandatory information as follows:
Information to be included in regulation 9 penalty charge notices and enforcement notices
3.—(1) A regulation 9 penalty charge notice must include the following information—
(a)that a person on whom a notice to owner is served may, in accordance with these Regulations, make representations to the enforcement authority against the penalty charge and, if those representations are rejected, appeal to an adjudicator;
(b)that if, before a notice to owner is served, representations against the penalty charge are received at such address as may be specified in the notice for the purpose those representations will be considered by the enforcement authority;
©that if a notice to owner is served despite the representations mentioned in sub-paragraph (b), representations against the penalty charge must be made to the enforcement authority in the form and manner and at the time specified in the notice to owner.
3(1) is there, but I cannot see 3(2) and 3(3).
This is a procedural impropriety and a winning, albeit technical, argument and grounds by itself.
