Re: Islington Contravention Code 11 Parked without payment of

IMO make reps online TODAY.
Given that you don't hold a strong hand substantively as regards
adjudication(where mitigating factors such as the council's
alleged misuse of bays and the misunderstanding between you and
your wife cannot be considered), you'll need the council to
cancel. IMO a complaint at this stage wouldn't warm them to your
situation.
Why online today?
Because today is the last day of the 28-day period*. Reps made
today must be considered. The other significant factor is that
the council could serve a NTO as early as tomorrow and what you
hope is that they've jumped the gun and already issued the NTO
for delivery(service) tomorrow and because it's been issued they
do not consider your reps. This would be a procedural
impropriety and also fall under the '.....circumstances of the
case' ground.
I would just set out what you've stated above:
We hold a permit(no. ******) and have done for *** years.
We usually park in the reserved or shared use bays, but at times
have to park in payment bays when not in force and move before
they are because reserved bays are full in the evening, often
with council vehicles.
On the day in question there was a breakdown in communication
between me and my wife as to who was going to move the car,
something which we realised at *** just after the PCN was
issued.
We have a clean PCN record, we're sorry, pl let us off.
*- you miscalculated this in your first post. 28 days begins on
the date of service, not the next day.

Thank you.
I submitted a challenge to the PCN earlier this morning.

So I appealed this PCN. I will need to find my original appeal,
but parts of it are in Islington's second response anyway.
Should I pay or take it further based on their response? Please
see below:

Response to above:
Thank you for your response. However, it does not address any of
the points I made in my original appeal. Please could you
address the points made in the original challenge.

Your choice. Pay the reduced penalty today or wait for the NTO*.
Even unsuccessful reps often elicit an offer to pay the reduced
penalty and if this were to happen you lose nothing but get the
opportunity to scrutinise their NOR for procedural
improprieties.
*- assuming this is you.

They haven't addressed your status as a permit holder and
parking record and spaces, instead just homing in on direct
mitigation concerning the contravention, which you aren't
disputing.
At formal stage you could try and pin them down on this and
their duty to act fairly and as said they will probably reoffer
the discount if they don't give in.

They have stated 10 minute observation is for after a payment
session expires.
I accept that, but is there no observation period for before a
payment is made?
Surely it's not right that the PCN states 9.41to 9.41 as an
observation period. Which means the CEO printed as soon as he
possibly could to try avoid the motorist paying or even
returning back into the car after deciding not to pay?
And yes the photos show 9.43 etc, but with the PCN already
printed, had I returned to the car, the would have simply said
"sorry it's already printed". Like they've done on so many other
occassions?

If the CEO had waited for a few minutes what would they have
observed?

Hi guys,
I received the NTO for this PCN recently. I've left it a bit
late to upload, I know. Sorry.
Is there any grounds I could appeal on and go to tribunal, since
it's at the higher price now anyway?
Thank you as usual.

Have you submitted any representations against the Notice to
Owner ? Only when reps against an NtO are rejected is it
possible to register an appeal at LT.

No reps made against NTO yet. Was wondering on what grounds to
submit reps.
Should I just submit my original appeal again?
