IAS Report: Motorists Lose 83% of Appeals

Posts: 3,237 Forumite
The Lead Adjudicator of the IAS has published his annual report for 2016/2017, showing that out of 17.454 appeals received, 2,963 were decided in favour of the motorist (17%).
The only bit of good news, is that adjudicators have been told to uphold the appeal when the contravention is trivial, such as inputting a '0' instead of an 'O'. It seems the doctrine of de minimis non curat lex has finally reached Cheshire.
These figures contrast sharply with the outcomes achieved at POPLA, both in its previous incarnation with London Councils, and the present setup with Ombudsman Services, which are consistently around the 50% mark. Similar percentages also apply to the PATAS and TPT appeals service for Council tickets.
So it seems that if you appeal to POPLA, it's a coin toss, whereas if you appeal to the IAS, you have to roll a dice and hope it lands on a six.
Meanwhile, Gladstones Solicitors have moved out of their previous shabby backstreet offices which looked like a kebab shop, and now occupy shiny new premises at a prestigious golf club,
Who paid for all this? Answer: you did!
Edited: Was quoting last year's report, now adjusted to this year's.

I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

That only shows the previous year's report. You have to dig a bit deeper to find the new one.

Of course, there is still the question of why these IAS adjudicators want to stay anonymous when those at POPLA have to show their names.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

The lead adjudicator, Bryn Holloway.
So the tail wagging the dog
The scam IAS will continue until government wakes up
and introduces a professional adjuicator which is regulated.
No doubt Holloway will have a good christmas but
will he spare a thought for all those caught up in this
mega scam invented by the disgusting Gladstones0 -
