This was won on a technicality, not the merits of your argument or you parking on a SYL and mistakenly believing that a No Stopping sign had any relevance.

Your error was trumped by theirs in presenting inadequate evidence. There is no suggestion in the decision that the absence of a stand-alone No Waiting sign at the location had any bearing on matters.

I have just had a look at yesterday's tribunal decisions and I was overwhelmed by the proportion of Refusals.

Taking a case to adjudication on arguments based in emotion/frustration/annoyance etc... is a gamble which, with current penalty levels, could prove to be expensive.


I'd also add that the adjudicator (not a judge) does not have discretion in these matters, he only facts presented to him.
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

the argument was not won on a technicality. it was won because although the adjudicator found as a fact that the car was parked on a SYL he could not find that the authority had complied with their duty to sign it adequately What no evidence of signs
