Appellant xxxxxxxxxx
Authority London Borough of Redbridge
VRM GY70GCZ
PCN Details
PCN AF08947587
Contravention date 05 Apr 2025
Contravention time 17:02:00
Contravention location Cranbrook Road
Penalty amount GBP 80.00
Contravention Parked without payment of the parking charge
Referral date -
Decision Date 21 Oct 2025
Adjudicator Herjinder Mann
Appeal decision Appeal allowed
Direction
cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.

Reasons
1. This is a personal appeal against a penalty charge notice.

2. The Appellant states that they made a payment using Pay By Phone using location 7180. They submit that the signage did not refer to payment via Ring Go.

3. The Enforcement Authority have not provided the Traffic Order only web addresses for a links of various Orders. It is for them to establish that there was a contravention and provide the valid Traffic Order. As they have failed to do so, I am allowing the appeal.

Well done. Redbridge insults you and the tribunal by leaving things to the last moment and supplying inadequate material and notice.

Try a modest costs application. They wasted your time.

I wouldn't even look at the pack. They are out of time and considering it would be prejudicial to you and the Tribunal's Practice Direction is clear on this.

Case reference   2250338371
Appellant   Maureen Medley
Authority   London Borough of Redbridge
VRM   ET06VUX
   
PCN Details
PCN   AF08936412
Contravention date   03 Apr 2025
Contravention time   11:47:00
Contravention location   Malcolm Way
Penalty amount   GBP 130.00
Contravention   Parked resident/shared use without a valid permit
   
Referral date   -
   
Decision Date   13 Oct 2025
Adjudicator   Cordelia Fantinic
Appeal decision   Appeal allowed
Direction   cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Reasons   1. The Appellant attended in person. The Authority did not attend and had not been expected to.
2. The Appellant told me that she received the Authority's evidence pack by post on Saturday 10 October 2025. The Evidence Checklist confirms that the evidence was posted to the Appellant on 9 October 2025.
3. The Tribunal's Practice Direction no. 2 of 2025 states that Authorities must serve their evidence no later than five days before the first scheduled date of hearing of the appeal. The five days take into account weekends and Bank holidays. This is to ensure that an Appellant receives the evidence three clear working days before the hearing.
4. The Authority was notified of today's hearing date on 24 July 2025. It is unclear why the evidence was not sent before 9 October. The Authority has failed to comply with the Practice Direction and there is no explanation before me as to why the Authority was unable to comply.
5. The Appellant has attended the hearing centre today and I do not consider it appropriate to direct an adjournment of today's hearing to enable three clear days' service, and to then require the Appellant to attend again due to the Authority's failure to comply with a practice direction.
6. The Authority has not complied with the practice direction. The Authority has not put forward any explanation. An Appellant is prejudiced by late service of evidence as it does not provide adequate time for them to prepare their case. In the circumstances I find that the appeal should be allowed.

Redbridge site showing £80 outstanding.

I think you should just attend the hearing online and say no pack was received. I guess the adjudicator will either adjourn the case if Redbridge did send it or find in your favour.
