Technical issue:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/4/enacted
I make this collateral challenge against the validity of the PCN as it does not state mandatory information provided at 4(8 )(v) of
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/4/enacted
which in turn refers to 4(8 )(iii).
Therefore, the PCN is not valid as it is missing mandatory information. And so it follows that the statement beginning with "If you fail................." is not only conflated but also does not even mention the said information thus exacerbating the lack of clarity of this PCN. Whether the "or" is interpreted as conjunctively or disjunctively, is somewhat further complicated by the missing information. Therefore, it must be read as to be paid before the end of 28 days from the date of service, which is wrong. The High Court has ruled that there must be such clarity in Hackney Drivers.
PCN also does not include option to pay by post?

I recently went to Surrey Quays and relied on Google maps. Unfortunately, I have been taken to a school road which has certain time restrictions.
Therefore as my luck would have it I have received a PCN in the post. Contravention 53j - failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone (Camera enforcement). This occured in Hazelbank Road junction with Ardgowan Road.
Can anyone help me I would like to know if I can appeal this I'm not sure how I can even go about doing this as I don't know all the traffic laws. The date of notice is 20-03-26. And I have 14 days which brings me to the 3rd of April or I have to pay the full price of £160.
