Parked up on a street....no yellow lines.
Didn't notice 'Permit Only' sign on a post nearby. Was new to area and had no idea permits were in operation. Question is....I seem to recollect that any 'parking permit zones' had to have signs up as you enter the zone [since there are no road markings to indicate]....is this right/binding?? [This is how it is where I live...but this was a different council area] I ask as I can drive into the streets concerned without seeing any warning signs ...other than the small ones on a post in the street. I have a feeling that the 'small post signs' trump the need for 'entry warning signs'....would welcome your opinions. This post has been edited by aspar: Wed, 25 Oct 2017 - 09:50 |

UPDATE: FIL sent email saying daughter was owner, daughter sent another confirming she was owner. Council has replied saying it won't accept these two emails and say he and she must comply with S T A T U T O R Y I N S T R U M E N T S 2000 No. 2546 CRIMINAL PROCEDURE The Road Traffic (Owner Liability) Regulations 2000 This refers to fixed penalties etc..... Is it not the case that local council enforced parking has been de-criminalised....??? Would love to tell the council they are wrong....!!! They are, but will never get it. The liability for the penalty lies with the owner. For practicalities sake this is presumed to be the RK. For obvious reasons the council cannot be expected to accept the word of every one who says their not the owner it was some one else. But the burden of proof is on the balance of probability. If a person states that someone is the owner, then that person say's Hey I'm the owner. The probability is high. Some one will point you to the relevant regs I haven't got time ATM -------------------- All advice is given freely. It is given without guarantee and responsibility for its use rests with the user

I think you could now additionally argue that if the council is referencing the wrong regulations, and in particular regulations relevant to criminal procedure, the council has misdirected itself in law. Thus a procedural impropriety which means the penalty must be cancelled.

Thus a procedural impropriety which means the penalty must be cancelled. I am more minded to take this all the way to the Appeals Service [not sure of exact name] as I'm keen to get a ruling on the Code 12 versus Code 16.....there are thousands of tickets affected if they are found to be using the wrong code...oops! |

Oh don't worry, procedural improprieties are almost always rejected as the council don't want to admit they've done anything wrong. Unfortunately even if this goes to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, a decision in your case doesn't affect the validity of any other PCNs. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Still no PCN, NTO, reps of any sort or correspondence.
We don't know whether the authority's reply was a Notice of Rejection or request for further info. If the former, then the appeals registration clock is ticking. If the latter, what do they want? IMO, the only knows here is the nose by which the OP continues to lead us in the absence of following established forum procedure regarding posting documents and I am concerned that advice is being given when we know so little. Early morning paranoia again. As regards the regs, as we don't know the details of the context then we cannot know their relevance. I can see a purpose as regards the authority because the Schedules to the regs contain prescribed formats for making declarations regarding ownership with, of course, the accompanying warning regarding the criminal liability for lying. Poor old FIL, possibly soon to become even poorer. And as regards who is liable, it is the RK unless the contrary can be proved. Contrary to what? Contrary to the presumption that the RK is the person by whom the vehicle is kept which in principle has nothing to do with who has title to (i.e. actually owns) the vehicle. “owner”, in relation to a vehicle, means the person by whom the vehicle is kept, which in the case of a vehicle registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (c. 22) is presumed (unless the contrary is proved) to be the person in whose name the vehicle is registered; Nowt to do with title.

Apologies.....the letter actually says...Although your Penalty Notice Charge was correctly given, we have cancelled it on this occasion due to a technical fault within the system.
Should I write and ask for an explanation of this said 'technical fault??' [wonder if the same fault could result in hundreds of other people getting a refund??? I'm sure the council wopuld welcome that..... |

I would write back asking exactly what the technical fault is. You made representations and received a decision, you are therefore entitled to an explanation of the reasons for that decision. The fact that the decision happened to be in your favour doesn't change that.

Done and got an answer...
The technical fault to which we refer was due the system generating a duplicate Notice to Owner. I've subsequently asked if they have cancelled ALL PCNs that this happened to. |
