Quote from: stamfordman on 22 Oct, 2025 12:02The adjudicator didn't report anything but the poor evidence from Redbridge - they really don't like it when copies of orders aren't provided, only links. I'm not happy it wasn't upheld immediately on the late service and breach of tribunal direction.  Yes I agree. I was surprised aswell .

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.Oh wow that’s published now. Yeah That was the case. Thank you for sharing @stamfordman . Truly appreciate all responses and support provided here. This forum is great help to community. Positive or negative outcomes we learn a lot from passionate legal community .

Quote from: H C Andersen on 21 Oct, 2025 18:48They are as thick as **** aren't they.“i confirm that Appellant has been sent copies of all evidence in accordance with Adjudicator’s requirements- Date sent 15/10/2025 and signed.So deemed served 17 October. Today is 21st.Adjudicator's requirements (AKA Practice Direction) are that evidence must be served 'no later than 5 days before the first scheduled hearing..'. 21-17 = 4. Oh well!Ya Yes they are and I haven’t seen themOn the call. Unless they were before me . I have mentioned to adjudicator that the evidence pack was received yesterday late afternoon and referred to recent cases @stamfordman mentioned. Instead of considering that ,(I’m surprised why that wasn’t considered , I have given case references aswell) ?  Adjudicator asked me if I needed more time to go through the evidence pack and do I want to postpone this hearing.I have requested not to postpone, as I didn’t want to spend more time on thinking about this.She then proceeded with questions , asking me to explain the situation and reasons behind the appeal. I have explained everything that I wrote here clearly and best as I could. She mentioned , council Did Not submit proper evidence, but asked her to check the links to see the evidence. Adjudicator also mentioned , she would t open any such links for security reasons. Looks like she had multiple reasons to allow my appeal. I’m pleased and grateful for the advice provided here. Writing this for awareness for people like me. Meeting is recorded.

Quote from: stamfordman on 21 Oct, 2025 12:31Well 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.Yes they did , and the effort , the stress , the time , and a day off from work today to attend. Everything adds up . It’s all ok now.

Huge thanks to @stamfordman , @HC Andersen and John .

Appeal is allowed . I will get a written letter saying not to pay. I was asked the explain the situation and why I think the appeal should be allowed. I was given good time to present my case. The authority did not attend. The authority did not submit the evidence properly, but sent the links to evidence. The adjudicator said , she wouldn’t open the links and it’s for the authority to represent and send the evidence properly.I’m really pleased and so glad I came here to take advice.I was advised to check sinage and follow decision . Which I’m ok to do going forward. Finally , I’m modest but just wanted to say - We won yay 🥳

Joining call now . Good luck to me . Thanks for your guidance.

Sure ,Also kept these cases numbers you shared handy - 2240405891224039703522500658692250059924

Hi @stamfordman ,If for any reason this case proceeds ,do I ask for adjournment to review evidence? Or proceed with representing with my argument? In the latter circumstances, I’m trying to gather cases you referenced by yourself. Are there any new allowed appeal cases please ? TIA

Just to update you - On the evidence pack , I just saw - “i confirm that Appellant has been sent copies of all evidence in accordance with Adjudicator’s requirements- Date sent 15/10/2025 and signed. But we received this yesterday .

Sure , I will . Thank you .

Quote from: stamfordman on 21 Oct, 2025 09:40I 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   2250338371Appellant   Maureen MedleyAuthority   London Borough of RedbridgeVRM   ET06VUX   PCN DetailsPCN   AF08936412Contravention date   03 Apr 2025Contravention time   11:47:00Contravention location   Malcolm WayPenalty amount   GBP 130.00Contravention   Parked resident/shared use without a valid permit   Referral date   -   Decision Date   13 Oct 2025Adjudicator   Cordelia FantinicAppeal decision   Appeal allowedDirection   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.Sure both , thank you somuch . Will do. I have a question .Would I be given a chance to speak about evidence pack ? Or Should I mention about the late arrival of evidence pack ahead.When can I mention case references you have helped with ? Would there be enough time to discuss the below case references?

I have received the evidence pack in post. I the evidence They mentioned that,  “when I try to pay the pay by phone would have shown location name , which I missed. “ Which I must have , I’mNot sure. I’m new to that location , we parked to eat , with 2 kids I must have I’m not sure I saw that 1st time. It doesn’t show in the receipt . But when I was extending the parking , it did show location , I went out to cross check the location number. I genuinely wasn’t aware that location numbers could be same.

Quote from: stamfordman on 20 Oct, 2025 15:36Redbridge 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.Morning Stamfordman , John , HC Andersen , I have received the evidence pack yesterday in post.

Hi , what would be the tribunal process ? Should I be preparing anything in advance ?
