Free Traffic Legal Advice

Apologies for not being clear in my last post.

It's scenario 1; the PCN was addressed to my LLC and yes, I made the representation without specifying my position and authority at the company.

So should I resubmit the same representation as before but stating I am representing the LLC in my capacity as director?

Is it still worth submitting the 'signage not clear' grounds, given they have already rejected that?
Or should I just go with the "council did not have the right to transfer liability" grounds?

I received the following response today from Lambeth Council via post. As you suspected @mrmustard, they have rejected the grounds of inadequate signage.

Regarding the point of their right to transfer liability, they actually start the letter by saying they are unable to consider a representation from a third party, given I am effectively unknown to them as the registered keeper of the car will be the leasing company.

They say they have put the case on hold for 14 days to allow the registered keeper to make the representations on my behalf or make the discount payment of £65.
Given the leasing company will not do that; as far as they're concerned, liability for any parking fines are my responsibility under the leasing contract; what should my next step be?

ah, I see. So I should just go ahead and submit that via the 'informal challenge' option on their website?

@Hippocrates, ah, I see I did not read it closely enough and managed to miss the wording "You cannot make an informal challenge against a moving traffic or postal PCN".  As ours is a moving traffic violation, it seems we cannot make an informal challenge.

Thanks for the homework @Hippocrates  . I see that if I make the informal challenge within 14 days from the date of issue, I will receive a discounted rate if my challenge is unsuccessful. So I have until October 17th to do this.

@mrmustard, the car is on a business contract hire lease which I tried to attach but got an 'upload folder is full' error so could post it to imgur and embed the links here if that would help.

It is a 48 month lease, due to end on 5/02/25.
Clause 5.2 states that "The Customer agrees to indemnify the Lessor from any fines, fees, charges, invoices or penatlies resulting from motoring offences or violation of traffic or parking regulations or restrictions".
I'm guessing this is not what you would have been looking for though?

I definitely count myself among those who want to fight as I hate paying PCNs, but if it seems like there is little chance of successfully challenging one, I'd prefer to pay the discounted amount than the full amount.

Any advice you can give will be gratefully received!

Hi All,

We have just received a PCN for exactly the same contravention described in this thread (52 Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicles) i.e. turning into New Park Road (D), recorded on August 26th.

@cp8759, I'm tagging you as you made the last posts to the other thread in May this year. From those, it looks like the once solid defence of Lambeth not having GLA consent is no longer valid, at least until March 2025.

If I have understood that correctly, is there any other chance of appealing this PCN or should I cough up while it's still in the discounted period?

Thanks!
Steve
