1. Contravention did not occur – inadequate signage and unclear terms

Change to:

1. Contravention did not occur – no car park terms and conditions at location

The orders you posted refer to a parent order - I can't find that, but it probably contains the requirement to park in bay markings. If this goes to the tribunal they would have to produce that but in our off-street cases we have long noted that the order itself must be cited at the location along with contraventions that can give rise to penalties as per the order.

That's great. thanks so much for this once again. I'll get it submitted now. I cant find that order too, but happy to go further in the challenge if needed.
I'll update thread with their response.

Thank you for posting this.
Would you have an idea how and when these changes will take effect?

The Traffic Enforcement Centre has already implemented the change that requires a brief REASON to be provided when an Out of Time application is rejected. That change has been in place for a few months now and I am aware of significant complaints being made to TEC.

At the Civil Procedure Rule Committee meeting in December, it was noted that the Committee had agreed to all the proposed amendments subject only to responses from the Consultation.

I will update this thread when further information is known.

Mediation is only mandatory to attend.

Mediator will call you and the bulk litigator individually. You'll get asked what you offer as a settlement.
You offer £0 as a settlement, they'll refuse, and that's it. This will happen over the span of multiple short phone calls during the timeframe offered.

The mediators are not legally trained, they should not be offering you any advice or pushing you to accept anything.
If they do, get their name and file a complaint after.

Don’t discuss your defence with the mediator, they are not qualified, trained or capable of this. Just say you stand by your defence and will not discuss further. Search the forum for “mediation” for lots of examples and advice.

If they try to discuss the defence any further, submit a formal complaint.

Up until around November, if an Out of Time Application was rejected by TEC,  the motorist would receive a letter from the Traffic Enforcement Centre stating the date of rejection and that NO REASON IS GIVEN and supposedly, NO REASON IS ON THE COURT FILE. This will now change.

TEC are proposing that the TEC Court Officer should include REASONS and that this can include the following:

1. That the motorist had provided no explanation why he was submitting his Witness Statement late.

2. That the motorist had provided no explanation as to why he failed to notify DVLA of the change of address.

3. That the motorist failed to provide evidence or proof as to why they had been absent from his home when the Order for Recovery had been issued.

Reading back on my post, I realise that I had only provided 3 reasons that the Court Officer may use to reject an Out of Time Application. The 4th reason is this one:

4. That the motorist had not provided proof or explanation why the statutory declaration (or witness statement) was served late.

By way of update, I now have my telephone mediation early March. National Parking Control Group vs Me.

What should be the sticking and focus points of my defence which I presume the mediator will ask of me?
