Yes, i am more than happy for you to represent me at the tribunal, thank you.

Also, on the original post on the other site, someone did also mention :

However, one of the statutory grounds is missing on the PCN, (it must contain all of them), so this could make the PCN void if taken to adjudication.
See 5(4)g
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2022/9...art/2/chapter/2

Would the above be of any help to us?

Two thoughts:

If they have new photos that are taken monthly, it's a bit odd they've not provided any in the Notice of Rejection.

Also, there's a service vs delivery flaw in the Notice of Rejection and this argument has recently found favour with the tribunal.

I can't guarantee the outcome, but if you want to carry on I'm happy to represent you at the tribunal.

Hi all,


This was originally posted here : http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=150038&st=0&gopid=1782143&

Sent in a representation for this : (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SZgq4dxhSSLYEmCryhUQd99JrOzOkd8WFFcMpAp3ABg/edit?pli=1)

We thought on the basis of there not being sufficient signage it would get dismissed (as coming out of York street turning right onto Charles street there was no signage as we could see from Google maps). However, they have come back saying we used pictures from Nov 2022, and in 2023 there is new signage there?

These are the links to the mail i have received now:
