Free Traffic Legal Advice

They've paid very close eye to detail there. Doesn't help I'm ok the shorter side so may not have noticed straight away

The pack I have downloaded online from the tribunal website. Nothing was sent to me directly

I'll let others comment on the emboldened bit - the Council is supposed to send you a copy of the Evidence Pack as well as the Tribunal.

Please post up here the Council's summary of why they think your appeal should be turned down, and any list of contents.

Is there anywhere I can upload pdfs directly?

I have a telephone hearing arranged for 6/11/24. Any advice on how I should prep for this? Thanks

Your wife signs it as the registered keeper

"It" it being a just a simple typed letter? Where should I attach this?

Would the phone hearing not be harder, in case I say the wrong thing?
It would be harder still if the appeal was lost because there was no-one to answer a question from the adjudicator.

Thank you for your response.

Previously on all correspondence I have putting my wife's name under the details and been writing the letters referring to the driver in third person as opposed to using I or me statements. Should I put my details now as the appellant? I'll be the one doing the phone call as I was the driver but car is registered under my wife.

Your wife, as the registered keeper, is the appellant. As per Incandescent's reply on August 1st, she must sign a letter to the tribunal authorising you to act as her representative.

How would I go about doing this? Just a blank word document eg
Dear sirs, please accept this letter from me as the registered keeper giving authority to (name) to act as the representative for the appeal as the sole passenger of the car/the driver

And then just attach it to my appeals in the document?

And put the appealent details as myself? I'm assuming the order of these things doesn't really matter. Only a few more days left for me to appeal.

Great. Would I just in writing or on the phone make the same statements as in my formula representations?

Make sure you choose phone or video hearing (NOT a decision on papers): then you can answer any questions the sdjudicator may ask.

No. When you register you can say for the evidence section, that "I reply on my formal representations to the council".  You can add stuff later, if anybody here suggests it.


Is that meant to say "I rely". The tribunal will be able to see my representation to the council from before?

'I rely' was meant. The tribunal will be able to see your reps in the Council evidence pack. Once you have a Date for the hearing the council must send you a copy of the Evidence Pack in advance of the hearing. When you have the date let us know here. Also let us and the Tribunal know if you've not received the Pack 5 days before the hearing date.

The amount will not increase above £70 if you lose, and if you win, there is nothing to pay. Most adjudications are done by phone these days, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal offer video adjudications.
