Of a morning Mr Mustard makes himself a proper cup of tea, using leaves, and settles down to a quick perusal of the tribunal register for the previous day. When he sees an entry like the one above he is likely to click on one of the entries because it took a long time to decide and because of the multiplicity of PCN.
Mr Mustard is unfailingly polite to all adjudicators and given that Mr Teper is a former head of a Barrister's chambers and sat as a judge you aren't going to get anything dubious past him. Hounslow Council really got this wrong.
Hounslow Council were trying to obtain £3,200 from this lady. As she started 20 Appeals the council have had to pay out c.£600 in fees to the tribunal to hear the cases. Their stupidity and discourtesy in not responding to the tribunal and adjudicator has caused a massive loss to the borough.
This will be a useful decision to quote from in future multiple penalty cases (although not a precedent but merely legally persuasive).
This is a location at which Mr Mustard has not been instructed although when he went online to view it he found it was near the former Brentford FC ground. This was the signage when the google street car went past
Mr Mustard doesn't have the images or video for the days in question. Whichever way the car came only one sign would be visible as they are angled. You also have to take in a cpz entry sign with standard hours and extra event day hours. By the time you have finished reading that you may miss the 'flying motorbike' sign.
Hopefully Hounslow Council will learn some manners for the future. Adjudicators don't forget much.
