So I'm assuming based upon @cp8759 response on the thread - that is the basis for my dad's appeal?

@zeezee I'm going to drop you a PM, this should be easy to sort out.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193 and I abide by the SPMF service standards.

A good win but unfortunately it costs the Council nothing. The money they must pay comes from PCN income. This is why Councils don't fear losing. Unless Council staff are personally held accountable nothing will change. When your own money is not at risk you have nothing to lose. Hence why we have the local and national Govt attititudes we do. No one is accountable.

As most people just cough-up on receiving a PCN, they can stand a few loses at adjudication. London councils make millions from parking and its enforcement, plus all the traffic PCNs where it's money for old rope.

This is why I name and shame them in my videos.
I REGRET THAT, FOR THE PRESENT, I AM UNABLE TO TAKE ON ANY MORE CASES AS A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LONDON TRIBUNALS. THIS IS FOR BOTH PERSONAL AND LEGAL REASONS. PLEASE DO NOT PM ME UNLESS YOU HAVE POSTED YOUR THREAD ON THE FORUM AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO GIVE ADVICE.

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

@cp8759  what was it about this particular case that made you pre-advise the council about costs in the formal reps?  Should it not be something that is stipulated by default in instances where there is a high probability of winning at tribunal?  Otherwise and in my personal experience, Redbridge (and others?) will continue to reject reps and then simply DNC when it doesn't have a valid case.

I only put it in when I think there's a realistic chance of actually getting costs. If it were just included in every representation by default, it would carry a lot less weight.

I don't apply for costs at all now having been told: "This has to stop".
