Does anyone have advice on whether I have a chance with the adjudicator please?

As you asked in your initial post, "do I have a chance", I would say yes, because when you parked you did what you were required to do. However, we can never predict what an adjudicator will decide, so it would be something of a gamble. The adjudicator decides on the civil law test of "the balance of probabilities", therefore your appeal narrative must be credible.

Just got off the meeting with adjudicator. Sadly, I lost the appeal. I’ll update the post with the decision asap. Really frustrating

The 16.15 hrs one?

Yes

2250258476    

    This is an appeal by Mr Khan (the Appellant) against a penalty charge notice (PCN) issued by the Enforcement Authority (EA) for parking in a restricted street during prohibited hours.
    This was decided at a video hearing.
    The EA states the Appellant’s vehicle was parked in Warley Street on 27 December 2024 at 09:33 hours. They state that the yellow line restrictions at the location apply from Monday to Friday 08:30 hours to 17:30 hours. The Civil Enforcement Officer’s (the CEO) evidence states that the PCN was issued after observing the vehicle parked with no activity between 09:28 hours to 09:33 hours. The CEO’s contemporaneous notes also state that they looked for a Blue Badge and none could be seen.
    The EA has produced photographic evidence of the vehicle and the PCN affixed to the vehicle. They have also produced correspondence with the Appellant dated 23 January 2025 and 29 April 2025.
    It is the Appellant’s case that no contravention occurred. In their representations the Appellant stated that their mother is a Blue Badge holder, of which they have provided evidence, and resides with the Appellant. They state that the Blue Badge was displayed correctly on the dashboard when they parked the car, but that the car was hit in the rear and the Blue Badge was displaced and fell on the floor. The Appellant has provided an invoice dated 12 April 2025 in relation to the repair of the damage caused.
    The Appellant further asserts that it is unfair that the discounted penalty was not reoffered with the Notice to Owner, which they consider is procedural impropriety.
    I am satisfied from the evidence that the contravention did occur. The Appellant’s vehicle was parked with no activity, and no Blue Badge was displayed on the vehicle.
    I further find that the EA has responded to the Appellant within the appropriate timescales and there has been no procedural impropriety on their part. The photographic evidence taken by the CEO when they issued the PCN shows the PCN affixed to the Appellant’s vehicle and therefore the PCN was served for the purposes of Regulation 9 of The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions) (England) Regulations 2022. The EA also extended the time for paying the discounted penalty on 23 January 2025 in their Notice of Rejection. In any event, I find that there is no requirement on the EA to offer the discounted penalty for any period beyond the time indicated in the PCN.
    The matters raised by the appellant amount to mitigating circumstances, which have already been considered by the EA. They do not amount to a ground of appeal, or an exemption. An Adjudicator has no power to consider mitigation as decided by the Court of Appeal in Walmsley v Transport for London [2005] EWCA Civ 1540.
    I therefore refuse the appeal and find that the penalty charge is payable.

Unbeatable PCNs are beatable and I have lost unloseable cases.

The ebst chance for a poor case is that the council decide to DNC (do not contest it).
A 50% gamble though.

The council had to pay a £30 tribunal fee. They hate those.

Adjudicators do make recommendations to cancel parking PCNs usually when they see compelling mitigation ignored by authorities. I don't think this case was at that level.

Is that it or can I appeal it further?

Basically she leaned onto the fact the contravention occurred when the CEO issued the ticket so the EA did not do anything wrong or procedurally inappropriate. Burden of proof is on me to show otherwise. I explained to her they didn’t tell me what was “sufficient evidence” and the cards are stacked against me as the only move I can take is to pay up or go to adjudication. How is that fair? They didn’t give me an opportunity at appeal stage to provide them with whatever the “sufficient” evidence is and now at this stage you’re saying you can’t do anything as they issued the PCN correctly at the time. So how’s that fair on the motorist? Additionally, I’m yet to see what sufficient evidence is. She basically said that’s all discretionary and she can’t do anything at this stage.
