Daft adjudication decision
DIR By: MrChips
Date: May 24, 2026, 3:50 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Spotted this London Tribunals decision while looking at cases at
a specific location to assist a live case on the Council PCN
forum. Managed to source the video too.
How can the adjudicator get it so wrong? I don't know if the
appellant has requested a review - is there anything I can do to
highlight this clear error to the Tribunal if they haven't as
it's less than a week old?
Case Details
Case reference 2260033530
Appellant Siteglass Southern Ltd
Authority Royal Borough of Greenwich
VRM LX22ZXS
PCN Details
PCN GR24436527
Contravention date 27 Nov 2025
Contravention time 09:54:00
Contravention location Blackwall Lane / Meantime Brewery
Penalty amount GBP 160.00
Contravention Entering and stopping in a box junction
Referral date -
Decision Date 19 May 2026
Adjudicator Elaine Vignoli
Appeal decision Appeal refused
Direction Full penalty charge notice amount stated to be paid
within 28 days.
Reasons
I am asked to determine an appeal in relation to contravention
code “31 - Entering and stopping in a box junction”, on 27
November 2025, at approximately 9:54am on Blackwall
Lane/Meantime Brewery.
The Appellant appeals on the basis that the driver was
attempting to enter through a gate the other side of the yellow
box and had pulled as far off the box as they could, whilst
waiting for the gates to be opened. I am afraid that this is not
a basis in law to allow for stopping on a box junction. The
contravention occurred and the Appellant’s arguments do not
alter the liability.
Accordingly, the appeal is refused and the full penalty charge
is payable.

Even if they've paid (IIRC) they can apply for a review as long
as the application i made in time.

Easy to contact them and tell them to ask for a review.
Note I've just posted a win at this location on the live case.

Thanks both - I've popped an email over to the company. Will
let you know if they come back to me.

Iwas under the impression that the contravention in yellow box
cases only occurred if the vehicle was stopped due to the
presence of another vehicle blocking the exit.
If this is not the case, then if someone runs out in the road in
front of you on a yellow box and you stop, you'd be guilty of a
contravention.
Total madness.

Your impression is correct!
I've contacted the company in question who confirmed they will
be requesting a review of the decision.

Is the adjudicator 'wet behind the ears'?

The lorry driver's option would have been to stop in the middle
of the road, not in the bus lane, and wait for the gate to be
opened, thereby causing a massive traffic jam while waiting.
