Author Topic: Primary evidence. Which is it? The video or the Penalty Charge Notice?  (Read 1392 times)

Had a pleasant but short discussion with an adjudicator some weeks back. When I raised this issue, after the appeal was allowed for other reasons, I also mentioned that, of course, and in all cases, unless the PCN is adduced as evidence, the council's case is lost. She then mentioned some legal phrase which I have forgotten/did not hear correctly.  :-[

I am specifically referring to Havering here and a review is pending re another adjudicator's decision who clearly favoured the former definition.

Because of the FTLA shirt, I shall keep my posts as cryptic as possible.  ;)

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

Don't think so. It was some High Court reference and she explained her approach.
