This blog relates to Harrow Council. They have made the same mistake as Barnet made back in 2016, here.
The above image displays the grounds on which Mr Mustard started an Appeal to the independent adjudicators at London Tribunals.
Councils get given 56 days to consider and respond to formal representations against a parking Notice to Owner whereas motorists only ever get 28 days to make them and a council really ought to be able to cope, if not they should issue less PCNs.
In addition, given the law sets a deadline to which councils must adhere and of which the average motorist will be ignorant all councils should programme their software in order to stay within the law. Sadly, there is no penalty if a council breaks the law.
In this case within a fortnight of hearing of the Appeal being started Harrow Council threw in the towel.
The end.
