London Borough of Hillingdon PCN Vehicle seen entering and stopping in a junction box when not permitted to do soPembroke Road/Station Approach Ruislip   https://maps.app.goo.gl/itCogQj5gVwx6sG99   Section 4(1) of the London Local Authorities and TFL Act 2003 Rule 174 of Highway Code £160 fine, reduced to £80 discounted, £240 if I don’t reply by Friday 30 January 2026  I don’t dispute the evidence (camera stills and video online), I did stop in the junction box. I stopped due to an ongoing medical issue, I suffered a medical episode. (face and eyes swell up which causes panic) I don’t have any medical evidence for the medical episode suffered on the day of the PCN, but in my appeal to London Borough of Hillingdon I provided evidence of previous episodes (i.e. A&E record from Jan 2025 last year, photos of what happens, evidence of follow up letter from NHS to me in January 2025 a year ago, providing me with results of CT Scan).  On 14 January 2026, London Borough of Hillingdon sent me a Notice of Rejection of Representations. They said “whilst we note the medical documentation provided, it is still the drivers responsibility to be aware of and comply with road restrictions at all times. Therefore we are not willing to cancel the PCN”. I have until next week to reply either make payment of the reduced fee of £80, or make an appeal online to the parking adjudicator (London Tribunals.gov) I have come on here today to ask three questions:-1)   Would the appeal process via parking adjudicator uphold my appeal based on the medical evidence I sent to Hillingdon London (I am happy to go before a panel via the personal hearing route via TEAMS)2)   If the parking adjudicator upheld my appeal does that mean Hillingdon HAVE TO LISTEN and cancel the notice, or would Hillingdon use their discretion and not listen to the Adjudicator as it is only a recommendation which they would ignore?  3)   If the Parking Adjudicator and/or Hillingdon didn’t cancel the PCN would the fine then be £160 as I have lost my right to the £80 reduced fine? The letter is ambiguous on this point.  I’m trying to weigh up whether to go to a TEAMS hearing and submit my medical case or pay the £80. I absolutely do not want to pay the £160/£240 quoted on the letter. Your experience and insight into these types of cases is much sought and needed. The narrative that concerns me in their letter re an appeal to the Adjudicator is “The adjudicator is unable to allow the appeal or reduce the penalty charge simply because you consider the particular circumstances excused the contravention”,London Borough of Hillingdon lists the only 5 grounds the Adjudicator can allow my appeal: 1)   The contravention did not occur2)   The vehicle was in the control of someone else without my consent 3)   I am a hire firm and can provide valid hire agreement4)   I was not the owner at the time5)   The fine amount exceeds the amount payable for the case. My argument at the personal hearing would be that there was no intent by me to breach the legislation/code, I had a medical episode and it is merely very unfair to punish me with a fine for doing so. If this wouldnt result in the PCN being cancelled then I will reluctantly pay the £80.Any help greatly greatly appreciated,  before I decide what you do based on your advice. Images (hopefully) attached via Imgpile   Thank you.
