Islington Council PCN - Out of date or not?
DIR By: pirell
Date: June 4, 2026, 8:31 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
Can I get some advice here, please? There are two CHarge notices
i received from Islington.
So this PCN was issued last year. it was wrongly issued as i had
a valid permit to use. I took the case to the adjudicator, and
the court date for it was in May. I lost the case annoyingly as
the Adjudicator did not understand that the council are
incorrect to claim that the emergency permit I was using was
'not an emergency' even though I provided valid proof and legal
wording for using the permit.
The amount on the Adjudicator's letter i received was £160. I
did not receive any communication from the council requesting
this amount and the first letter i received was this letter,
which is now stating i owe £240. How is this possible?
What are my options as i would like to take this case to court
since i was in fact, using a valid permit? I have since been
using the same permit and nothing has happened, so i wonder what
else i can do after an adjudicator's hearing.

I received this second letter the following day. This PCN is
supposed to have been cancelled. The adjudicator only discussed
the case above.
Therefore, is it not out of time for the council to request this
charge?

Can you give us the adjudicator case reference and give us
precise dates please. If the adjudication was in May, I wouldn't
expect a charge certificate to be issued the same month.

No that's a different case (on Hornsey Road rather than
Blckstock Road)

From that decision:
A Charge Certificate may have been issued in aspect of other
Penalty Charge Notices as the Appellant sought to appeal others
at this Tribunal before the Enforcement Authority had issued a
Notice of Rejection in respect of them. Each case is dealt with
on it own facts.
I have a feeling that this thread could get complex!

are showing as £0

thank you for pointing this out. The hornsey road case ref, is
the only case that went to an adjudicator. You are correct that
it is not related.
Therefore These other two, must be out of time by now? and why
did i receive this all of a sudden.
What are my options?

We need to know more.
Why do you say they are out of time? Can you give us dates of
all the council documentation for each case and the dates you
submitted your challenges?

an update on this case : i found the letter from the adjudicator
when i first resented all these cases to them which was a reply
to my lodging of the cases. The council had quickly withdrawn
all but 1 of the matters according to the adjudicator so they
were only gong to deal with the 1 case i posted initially.
I therefore challenged the council not for being out of time but
to state that the cases according to them had been withdrawn.
This was accepted and i have nothing to pay. imagin i went and
paid the £520 they were asking for :o
