Hello,
I'm new here and have only just found this forum, but I need some advice before Monday please. To cut a long story short, I got a parking ticket, I did the representations etc. which were rejected so went to appeal with the parking tribunal. The telephone hearing date was yesterday, but 5 mins AFTER the scheduled start, I got a phonecall telling me the council wanted to be part of the hearing, but they couldn't make that time. (Despite the date being set for over a month). So the secretary offered me another time on the next day for the hearing, which the council could make but I couldn't make, then they offered another date in 6 weeks time. I said that it was unacceptable, so I wanted it deciding by the adjudicator now instead, but that I wanted to write my points down which I would have said during the hearing. The adjudicators office phoned me back and said the adjudicator agreed to that. So I sent written representations in, but today I got another call saying that they had received my written submissions, but the adjudicator now thought a hearing would be better, which during the course of the phonecall changed to the adjudicator wanted to give me a chance to have a hearing!! Then they initially said a hearing could be arranged for Monday or Tuesday next week, then throughout the conversation they attempted to push it on to within the next 2-3 weeks. I believe that this is entirely to accommodate the council and wondered if anyone else has had this kind of treatment? It seems very irregular and I'm wondering if I have to accept it, especially when the adjudicator initially said that I could change it to be decided by the adjudicator only, instead of delaying the hearing. I've wasted a days holiday and will have to book another one. They're phoning me back on Monday to try to set a date, so if anyone could give me advice before then, it would be great. |
