PCN @ High Point Village - Hayes & Harlington, London

The adjudicator made their decision:

The Appellant should understand that the Adjudicator is not in a position to give legal advice to either of the parties but they are entitled to seek their own independent legal advice. The Adjudicator!!!8217;s role is to consider whether or not the parking charge has a basis in law and was properly issued in the circumstances of each individual case. In all Appeals the Adjudicator is bound by the relevant law applicable at the time and is only able to consider legal challenges and not factual mistakes nor extenuating or mitigating circumstances. Throughout this appeal the Operator has had the opportunity consider all points raised and could have conceded the appeal at any stage. The Adjudicator who deals with this Appeal is legally qualified and each case is dealt with according to their understanding of the law as it applies and the legal principles involved. A decision by an Adjudicator is not legally binding on an Appellant who is entitled to seek their own legal advice if they so wish. The Hayes development has been ongoing for some time now, and looks likely to continue for some time into the future. I have dealt with numerous appeals regarding this site. At the entrance to the site there is a large sign on the left stating that there is no stopping, waiting, dropping or collecting outside of marked bays. The roadway is marked with large lettering NO DROP & COLLECTION and PRIVATE ROAD. The bays along the side are clearly marked and are specifically for waiting, dropping or collecting as they have a time limit of 20 minutes. The photographic evidence shows the appellant's vehicle stopped outside of a marked bay, albeit very briefly, and a passenger getting into the vehicle. This is in contravention of the terms. As much as one may have sympathy with the appellant regarding the short length of time the vehicle was on this site, nevertheless the parking charge was properly issued. This appeal is therefore dismissed.





Do I have a chance if I leave it as it is and wait for the letter from court ?


Thanks,

Hi all, thanks for the feedback and support.
After reviewing your comments, I decided to take a very simple action now...... to wait and see what happens next. I already got a note from PCM that because of the IAS decision, the fine has to be paid in full, so no "discount" , and the fine used to be 60£, but now its the full amount 100£.
I don't want to pay it obviously and will wait for what happens next... I will report back when anything new comes up.

Take care by then...
