       Your reps will be the same as if you went for a papers-based
       adjudication, but by being on the phone (or video), to the
       adjudicator, you can answer questions, and if the council
       attend, refute any statement their rep may make.
       All pretty normal and nothing to worry about.  The only thing is
       you have to give some of your time for the adjudication.

       So it turns out I was given the wrong PIN code for the appeal so
       I've had to spend a week of back and forth with the tribunal
       people to get a working code.
       The problem is now that the 28 day period has passed AND I've
       already received a Charge Certificate literally within the 28
       days expiring and I've not even got around to writing my appeal!
       When I submit my appeal through the portal can I request the
       adjudication occur via phone?
       Are any gaps / procedural things regarding the Charge
       Certificate that need to be adhered to?
       Will update with copy of charge notice asap

       wordsmith my 'compelling reasons' point.

       Have you been notified by the tribunal that your appeal has been
       registered? Post their communication.

       Appeal has been registered now and Authority had 14 days to
       decide whether they want to contest it or not. Is there any
       chance they just will not bother?

       It seems like they have indeed replied and uploaded all their
       evidence - the Authority's response is as follows
       --- Quote ---
       > With regard to the specific reasons for issuing the Notice,
       and the appellant’s main points concerning the contravention,
       Birmingham City Council would refer to the Notice of Rejection
       which they consider adequately presents the Authorities
       assertions at this stage.
       > The use of discretion has been considered in this case,
       however the council believes that the circumstances do not
       amount to any mitigation that would justify cancellation of the
       PCN.
       > As can be seen from the contemporaneous photos lighting was
       sufficiently clear for motorists to read any information on the
       machine/notice board. The appellant states that the vehicle was
       parked around  19:45 hours. At this time in November, it would
       be sufficiently dark enough for full lighting to be in use. It
       would not be dusk at this time in November. There would not have
       been any more lighting on the car park when the CEO issued the
       PCN at 21:37 hours.
       > The appellant clearly saw the notice regards the machine not
       working, yet failed to read any further information supplied on
       the machine. It is a motorists responsibility to read,
       understand and act on all information provided to avoid the
       issue of a PCN.
       > Contrary to the appellants belief that the Notice of Rejection
       did not provide all the information required, a copy has been
       attached showing the information it contained. The Council
       believe that the PCN was correctly issued, enforced equally,
       fairly and without discrimination, and remains valid and payable
       at £50.

       Now I have 7 days to pick whether I want a telephone hearing or
       just get the adjudicator to decide on the evidence presented. A
       bit scared about doing the telephone hearing  :-X

       Have you got any advice? I'm assuming I should probably do the
       hearing?

       Don't do the papers-based route, it usually fails. A telephone
       hearing is not at all daunting, but don't lose your rag whatever
       you do. Even if you lose, at least you'l have the satisfaction
       of knowing they've had to at least some work for their
       ill-gotten gains and also have had to pay the adjudication fee,
       so no profit for them.
