Redbridge Traffic Orders

The traffic order shows WD zone starts outside 1a Grosvenor Road. Their CPZ map shows it starts at the high street. CPZ Map  I assume the Traffic Order takes precedence?

Outside the Montesorri and the church is payment parking. WD permit doesn't apply (according to Traffic Order). I assume you parked there?

However, the signs in your (fuzzy) photo appear to be conflicting. The sign for start of WD appears to be outside the church. This is wrong.
They've overlapped it with the payment parking. I can see why you were confused and thought it was OK to park there.

Need others to sense check it but I'd say it's a slam dunk for a cancellation of the PCN.

They will probably rely on 'except in signed bays' but I'd certainly argue the signs cause confusion.

where can if ding the traffic order?

I think I had better take care of this one.

Hello all.

Small update.

I received a request from the court to complete an N180 form. They want to move it to small claims track.

I have also received bw legal's n180 who do not want it moved to small claims track because they want to cross examine me (lol).

I will send my copy within the time limit using the following template:

Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:

• The name of the court is "Civil National Business Centre".

• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the "Defendant".

• C1: "YES"

• D1: "NO". Reason: "I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.
Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question.."

• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find it:
What is the court name? - Find a Court or Tribunal - GOV.UK
Tell us if you know the court or tribunal name or address to find a court or tribunal in England or Wales
find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk


• F3: "1".

• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the signature.

When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both disputeresolution@bwlegal.co.uk and enquiries@bwlegal.co.uk and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.

Please let me know if you want any of their N180 answers.

Thanks.

The council won't accept the argument. The legal test is 'as the order making authority may consider requisite for securing that adequate information as to the effect of the order is made available to persons using the road;'. Whether the adjudicator shares their view??

No guarantees as regards re-offered reduced rate, but more likely than not. You would also get a shot at examining a NOR for procedural correctness.

Hello experts! A follow up to this, on which I would be grateful for your advice.

TPS have instructed "Oak Legal" to pursue their claim, and I have received a threatening letter from Oak Legal (talk of CCJ's, etc.), image here


Summary, to save digesting the full thread:
- TPS NtK was judged to fail POFA on several accounts
- plus further mitigation / defence by way of CRA 2015
- TPS rejected my appeal
- POPLA then found in TPS's favour (ignoring much of the argument in their decision-making)
- 3 additional requests for payment from TPS (ignored per advice on the forum)
- letter now received from Oak Legal, pursuing the claim, and threatening court action (advice being sought here)

I can only find one other mention of Oak Legal on the forum (in relation to APCOA, which this isn't), so I'd be grateful to hear of any experiences with or knowledge about this firm; and advice on how to proceed.

Should I reply to Oak Legal to re-state the case? Would it do any harm to do so (might a Court think this was a prudent thing to have done, f.e.) - might it indicate to Oak that I intend fighting, so if they wouldn't actually go to court they may as well stop now?

Grateful for your thoughts,

with thanks,

A.
