1. A box junction can be placed between two or more roads. This
box junction extends beyond the junction and is therefore not
compliant.
2. The PCN is missing mandatory information as provided at Para.
4 (8 ) (v) of
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/section/4/enacted
(v)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of the
28 day period, an increased charge may be payable.
Clearly, this refers to Para. 4 (8 ) (iii):
(iii)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the
period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
Therefore, it follows that the statement: "If you fail to pay
the Penalty Charge or make representations before the end of a
period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this
notice an increased charge of £240 may be payable” adds to the
lack of clarity by its omission. Even on its own, whether the
required information was included or not, it is also arguable
that it conflates the two periods using the word "or" which many
would view as being conjunctive. Furthermore, even if the
statement were to be interpreted disjunctively, there is still
no clarity due to the missing information. So, it follows that
it cannot possibly be interpreted disjunctively.
In light of the above, please cancel the PCN.

It has now been 62 days since the formal reps were sent and
still no response from Barnet. Does the 56 day time limit apply
in this case or is that only for parking PCNs, as I've been
advised by AI?

There's actually no legal time limit for Barnet to respond, they
could (theoretically) take years if they wanted to.
In practice anything more than three months is usually frowned
upon as unreasonable by London tribunals and would likely see it
thrown out.

Wasn't the exit from the YJB clear (i.e. into the lanes either
side of the car in front, the subsequent bus being an example)
when the alleged car entered the YJB? Therefore no
contravention occurred.
