So I'm assuming based upon [member=1]cp8759[/member] response on
the thread - that is the basis for my dad's appeal?

A good win but unfortunately it costs the Council nothing. The
money they must pay comes from PCN income. This is why Councils
don't fear losing. Unless Council staff are personally held
accountable nothing will change. When your own money is not at
risk you have nothing to lose. Hence why we have the local and
national Govt attititudes we do. No one is accountable.

As most people just cough-up on receiving a PCN, they can stand
a few loses at adjudication. London councils make millions from
parking and its enforcement, plus all the traffic PCNs where
it's money for old rope.

[member=1]cp8759[/member] what was it about this particular
case that made you pre-advise the council about costs in the
formal reps? Should it not be something that is stipulated by
default in instances where there is a high probability of
winning at tribunal? Otherwise and in my personal experience,
Redbridge (and others?) will continue to reject reps and then
simply DNC when it doesn't have a valid case.

I only put it in when I think there's a realistic chance of
actually getting costs. If it were just included in every
representation by default, it would carry a lot less weight.

I don't apply for costs at all now having been told: "This has
to stop".
