This is a useful case from yesterday but it's frustrating that
the adjudicator didn't also twig that the numberplate font looks
like an I so that's what you may enter on the app anyway.

Reasons
permit was arranged by the man for whom he was conducting work,
Mr Davison, who is the resident. It appears that when Mr Davison
was entering the vehicle registration mark on the permit
application, he entered it incorrectly by one character,
entering a capital 'I' instead of a '1'.
2.
that the capital 'I' was indistinguishable from a '1'.
3.
that it is the responsibility of the user of the permit to
ensure that the correct vehicle details are entered. The
authority is, I find, correct in its statement of the law - in
general terms. It is indeed the responsibility of the user of
the permit to spot that a minor error has taken place, and so
if, for example, a '3' has been entered as an 'E', even though
it might be quite easy to miss such an error, nevertheless, the
error can be identified, and it is the responsibility of the
permit user if it is not identified.
4.
which the error could not have been identified by Mr Oliveira.
Since 'I' and '1' appear identical in the typeface used on
screen for the permit application, there is no way that even the
most observant person could have spotted the error.
5.
drawn to Mr Oliveira's attention, it was not drawn to his
attention at all.
6.
person would ever have been able to identify, I find that no
contravention occurred, or alternatively, that the breach was so
minimal that the 'de minimis' rule applies.
