Seems to be attendance at the office.
Did you contact them as advised above? If not do so. What exactly does the letter say about method, date, time, and place of hearing?
But I've yet to get any evidence pack or anything.
The Council should send you a copy of the evidence pack by Christmas Day BUT Christmas post.....
If it doesn't arrive on 27th, you'll need to check Tribunal opening hours over Christmas and contact tribunal.
So I did the submission, and I've yet to get any evidence pack from Islington. And the hearing is on Jan 2nd, in person.So what hearing is it, papers-only, or attendance at their office ? ALmost all adjudications nowadays are telephone-based. I think you just need to contact London Tribunals to get it altered.
Secondly is there anyway to get a telephone hearing instead?
P.s. they responded to the subject access request and said they do not keep footage past 90days.
Can I send the above then? I've only got a few days left to appeal.Seems OK to me, and nobody else has commented, so submit it.
I am going to take it to tribunal.
Will write a draft tonight
Okay, posted now!
I hope they accept. Thank you so much!
No as it is too combative. I would simply state that the contravention did not occur and I reiterate my original challenge which I require you to consider as my formal representations.
I think the 28days area nearly up for the NTK, should I send what I have?
OP, it's a no-brainer to wait for the NTO.
Amid all the verbiage of their response, the following stand out:
1. 'Although the picking up of people at the location is permitted..'
2. '..the driver must remain with the vehicle'.
1, Excellent news, they knew and now so do we.
2. Garbage. We know and soon so will they!
In any reps, I'm tempted to suggest you weave in something along these lines..
..while one part of me wants the authority to cancel the PCN now, another part wants you to continue your baseless argument regarding loading/assisted boarding to enable me to obtain a costs award which might go some way towards compensating me for the wholly unnecessary time and effort which the authority's pursuit of the PCN has caused. ...
Okay I will wait for NTO, and then I think you can appeal one more time the NTO before it goes tribunal, if I am correct?When you get the NTO you must make formal representations, if those representations are rejected then you can appeal against that rejection to the tribunal.
When you respond again Islington usually put the PCN on hold, and the discount is extended, sometimes.To be honest in a case like this that should go to the tribunal anyway, the discount is largely irrelevant.
Although the picking up of people is permitted at the location, this must be done promptly, and the driver must remain with the vehicle.
Okay, what is the footage for, if you don't mind me asking?You've mentioned it in the representation and you've said it will corroborate your story. So, we might as well get it and have a look. You have to request it now because it could take a month to come back, if you wait for the notice of rejection then there won't be enough time to wait for it.
We were already loading the car, and my daughter was already sitting in the front seat, by the time he had printed the PCN, stuck it on the window and took pictures. If you check the wardens bodycam you will find that it corroborates my story.
It’s not clear in any of the pictures that my daughter was sitting in the front seat because of the reflection on the windscreen,however, you will notice the warden has taken an extremely close up picture of the PCN, with the vehicle VIN number, I believe this was to avoid taking a picture of my daughter, who is only 7.
