Free Traffic Legal Advice

Do you you think I have a chance?

There is no need to redact the assessors name. It is in the public domain and we like to keep a record of which ones ought to be let go because of their utter stupidity and ignorance.

POPLA’s response is a masterclass in procedural laziness and statutory illiteracy. The assessor has rubber-stamped the operator’s assertions without applying even the most basic scrutiny to PoFA’s mandatory language or the evidential burden required under the PPSCoP.

Their grasp of “period of parking” is laughable—treating two timestamps a second apart as compliance is not interpretation, it’s intellectual malnourishment. The decision can be safely ignored as it carries no legal weight, is not binding on you and merely confirms that POPLA remains a box-ticking exercise staffed by clipboard-wielding amateurs.

I would suggest a complaint to POPLA but that is also an exercise in futility because they are not answerable to anyone and even if they admit they are wrong, they will never reverse a decision.

FOr now, you can safely ignore all debt recovery letters that will start coming. Debt collectors are powerless and they can only try to persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.

Come back when you receive a Letter of Claim (LoC).

Thank you for your advice, will do that.

Had made an appeal based on advice received on this forum, attaching the document here.
Furthermore, there is clearly no designated parking bays in the area they have put a penalty on. Morever there is only a single board on the property which is on the building, need not necessarily be noticed especially when a car is being parked in reverse.
Could you please advise?
