Ok, Will go ahead with No 2 as the appeal rationale. Will they sent a notice to keeper ?
There is no such thing as a "notice to keeper" under the legislation. You need to re-read the notice of rejection, it clearly explains the next steps. You have 28 days to pay the penalty or appeal to the tribunal, there is no other choice / option.
If they have provided an appeal form then great, if not then just make your own notice of appeal, make sure to include everything required by paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 1 to The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Representations and Appeals) (England) Regulations 2022 and email it to queries@londontribunals.org.uk together with a copy of the notice of rejection. Make sure to request a hearing.
I was reading the appeal - Ayman Labib v Transport for London (2240513624, 18 January 2025). The wording mentioned in my PCN is different than what was mentioned in this 18th January case. Are you sure this rationale is applicable for my case regarding procedural impropriety ?
From the same appeal it mentions this statement, but it is not present in my PCN
""You should now make full payment for the outstanding PCN(s) within 28
days of the service of this Notice. The amount(s) currently due is set out
below. For those PCNs held at the discounted penalty charge amount, we
will provide you a further 14 days beginning with the date of this notice to
pay and close the PCN at that rate. If the PCN(s) remain unpaid after this
14-day period, the penalty charge due will revert to the standard penalty
charge amount as stated on the PCN."
At the bottom of the NoR it is written, "Outstanding Balance: £80"."
