Apologies, I can see what you mean @incadescent. I uploaded images related to two separate PCN’s on the same IMGpile. I tried to upload links, that when I click them take you to the specific documents referenced.
Would it be better if I reuploaded them for clarity?
I don't think so, as everybody knows the problem.The relevant documents are there.

Hi there, this is strange wording, but it still relates to parking on a yellow line on hatherley gardens. Perhaps that’s an opportunity to appeal

Just scrolling through. Scroll through this one from the top and you'll see: -

Hi there where have I done that ? Are you referring to the other images that I have uploaded on my imgpile, or the seperate thread I began relating to another PCN.
-
Sorry, but can you please explain why you have posted documents relating to two PCNs, one for entering a restricted street at 09.51, and others for the parking contravention, the subject of this thread.

Hi there thanks very much for your reply. Do you think there is a case at all for a technical appeal from the documents sent?
Unfortunately I don’t think I have a leg to stand on legally.

So what do you think might be a legally robust argument ? Presumably you did park on a single-yellow line during its restricted hours. You were there for 10-15 minutes. There are two exemptions to yellow lines, (1) loading/unloading, and (2) boarding/alighting passengers. Do either of these apply ?
In addition to the above, there may be a 'technical' appeal based on Haringey mismanagement of the enforcement process. Such appeals have nothing to do with the alleged contravention and are invariably dealt with at London Tribunals, with the full PCN penalty in play. Quite a few have now been won, but clearly, you are taking a double-or-quits gamble. If you win, you pay nothing, if you lost you pay the penalty, but there are no additional costs.

Hi guys, unfortunately I think I may be liable to pay this one. However, I thought it would run it by your expertise. Thank you in advance. No PCN’s in 2025 and then hit with three around Christmas.
I (perhaps foolishly) already appealed this PCN on the basis of compassionate grounds. We had a bereavement in the family which hit us all hard. I parked very briefly outside a family member house 10-15 minutes max. I was actually very well aware of the parking restrictions, but was a challenging moment and lost my head. Ironically there were unrestricted spaces on the other side of the road. Unsurprisingly Haringey was uninterested in my appeal. I was wondering if this particular PCN would be a losing battle.
I’m couldn’t find the initial correspondence, i will look again. However, here is my latest paperwork, including a rejection letter.
Thanks again for your time and the amazing advice available in this forum.
