I need to register my appeal on the Tribunal website, but I have not yet been given a hearing date. I am seeking guidance on what information I should include when completing the online appeal form, so any help with how to word my submission would be greatly appreciated.

My appeal has now been rejected by the council and the case is being escalated to the tribunal. I have prepared some key points for the tribunal stage, which I’d be grateful for you to review. Any guidance or suggestions you can offer would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
Ground: Procedural Impropriety — PCN served out of time
I appeal on the ground that the PCN was served out of time, amounting to a procedural impropriety.
The alleged contravention occurred on 24 June 2025.
The PCN served on me was issued on 16/18 September 2025, an elapsed period of 87 days.
Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, and the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) Representations and Appeals Regulations, the maximum permitted period for serving a Regulation 10 PCN is 28 days unless one of the limited exceptions applies.
In its Notice of Rejection, the council claims:
> “The initial PCN went out to the registered keeper… they came back to say the vehicle was on hire.”
This appears to be an attempt to rely on the “vehicle-hire firm / transfer of liability” exception.
However, the council has provided none of the legally required evidence that must be produced before the exception can apply. The law requires:
1. A copy of the hiring agreement;
2. A copy of any signed statement of liability by the hirer;
3. A copy of the original keeper’s representations;
4. A copy of the council’s Notice of Acceptance to the keeper.
None of these documents were supplied with the Notice of Rejection, nor at any point previously.
Without these mandatory documents, the council cannot rely on the hire-vehicle provisions. Accordingly, the PCN served on me is out of time, and therefore void.
I respectfully request that the adjudicator direct the council to cancel the PCN.
Without prejudice to the above, I also note that I was a licensed PCO driver and briefly stopped for under ten seconds solely to allow a mobility-impaired passenger to exit safely. However, I do not rely on this point unless necessary, as the PCN must be cancelled due to late service.
My appeal has now been rejected by the council and the case is being escalated to the tribunal. I have prepared some key points for the tribunal stage, which I’d be grateful for you to review. Any guidance or suggestions you can offer would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Private parking tickets / Re: stanstead airport drop of charge
« on: November 07, 2025, 05:31:07 pm »please can you check the reply and offer any suggestions many thanks
Subject: Response to Parking Charge Notice [STN1350423]
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing as the hirer of the vehicle in relation to the above Parking Charge Notice.
Your notice was received on [29/10/2025], almost [ 84 days] after the alleged parking event on [07/08/2025]. This is well outside the timeframe allowed under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) for transferring liability to the keeper or hirer.
Furthermore, APCOA has previously confirmed in many cases that it does not rely on PoFA to establish keeper or hirer liability. As such, there is no legal basis to pursue me as the hirer.
I am the Hirer. APCOA cannot hold a Hirer liable for any alleged contravention on land that is under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, APCOA will be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because Stansted Airport is not 'relevant land'.
If Stansted Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not pleaded, it is also not legally possible because APCOA is not the Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never attempts to be a penalty. It is created for APCOA’s own profit (as opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse) and APCOA has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.
The Hirer cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. APCOA have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.
I therefore request that this charge be cancelled immediately. Please confirm this in writing. Should you disagree, please provide evidence of full compliance with all relevant PoFA provisions, including copies of any documentation received from the hire company that meet the statutory requirements.
Kind regards,

I have drafted a appeal for the above pcn please advise if ok or anything else I can add to strengthen the case many thanks
Grounds of Representation – PCN HGB204686A
Alleged contravention: 24/06/2025
PCN issued: 16/09/2025 (almost 3 months later)
Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, a postal PCN must normally be served within 28 days. This delay is a procedural impropriety.
Additional circumstances:
I am a PCO driver (TfL Private Hire).
Passenger had mobility difficulties – could not walk properly.
Station Rd / Balgores Rd is a very busy road; stopping elsewhere would have been dangerous.
I stopped at the bus stop stand only to allow a safe drop-off.
The stop was under 10 seconds, as can be seen in the video. I moved away immediately.
I had no intention to park or obstruct.
