As I was sitting in front of the current Chief Adjudicator, I can honestly state that he shook his head from right to left in disagreement when the TFL barrister in his final submissions said that CCTV enforcement was valid!  The previous CA had left the room by this stage.

There are known knowns which, had we known, we would never have wished to know. It is known that this also applies to the known unknowns. However, when one attends a hearing, Mr Rumsfeld's idea that there are also unknown unknowns fails to apply because, anyone who is in the know, knows that unknown unknowns are purely a deception otherwise known as an aleatory experience or also known as a lottery. I know that I know this to be a fact and, in this knowledge, I know that I am fully prepared to present my case but, paradoxically, in full knowledge that the unknown unknowns may well apply in view of some adjudicators' lack of knowing what they ought to know through no fault of their own.

From the report, The Standard's reporter found Karen's analogy "bizarre", but not the judge's foreshadowing.

Quote
In a bizarre moment, she compared the Red Route regulations to a restaurant menu offering "cheese board and spotted dick and custard", and asked: "Would a patron reasonably expect to be served cheese board and custard?"

Mr Justice Swift replied, to laughter in Court One: "You know what? These days, you just can't tell."

So apparently the pepipoo directors are sitting on £30k that's apparently held for some future big case. I can't imagine there's going to be another "big case" any time soon, anyone fancy seeing if they'd be willing to fund an appeal to the Court of Appeal?

I laughed deliberately so loudly in an attempt to blow off the TFL barrister's wig.  ;D

The ES often get it wrong.  I believe someone else wrote the argument!

I've just heard that TfL have won the judicial review, the interested parties have until Thursday to ask for permission to appeal.

Transport for London, R (on the application of) v London Tribunals (Environment and Traffic Adjudicators) [2023] EWHC 2889 (Admin).

Paragraph 17 is interesting, as it suggests that without an upright sign, there cannot be any CCTV enforcement of a double red line.

Having only skim read the judgement two thinks sort of come to mind.

Firstly the upright sign it must be present in the bay. We used to argue regularly that the sign if not facing traffic fell outwith LATOR but that has fallen away as not relevant I think it can now be re born

Secondly the contravention it's self 46 stopped where prohibited on a red route or clearway. if you are within the permitted time of bay operation then can this stand as a reason to believe you commit that offence. I would suggest it should be one of the various parking offences code 30 re parked in a disabled bay or 24 for a loading bay without loading

I'm not sure that ever fell away, we've been winning cases throughout on the basis of inadequate signage, including one that TfL didn't challenge because the signage was indisputably inadequate, and a double red line where the sign said no stopping 7 am to 7 pm (the appellant stopped after 7 pm).

The problem with the bays is that they're not designated parking places, so the other codes cannot apply.

If not a designated parking place, then which part of para. 3 to Part 2 of Schedule 7 applies?

My question related to 'designated parking bays' and the issues, albeit separate from CCTV, that were raised by PMB.

As far as I can see, this adjudication decision relates to OGL and waiting/stopping, not designated parking places under s.45 RTRA.

But the principle is the same, the waiting provisions of para 3 of the Schedule covers stopping (Mr Chan has told me he agrees with that).

Personally, I have no faith in the justice system.  In this case below*, the guy went to the Court of Appeal and Lord Justice Simon ordered him to pay the Traffic Penalty Tribunal!  And refused to amend.  The High Court Judge ordered him to pay the Council!  Sadly, his application to the European Court was received a day late!  :(

One has a better chance of being reimbursed for a flight delay and/or cancellation under EC261/2004 8)
