Barnet Council - a costly assumption

This decision has been brought to Mr Mustard's attention by a friend who is looking at all costs award cases in the last couple of years at the tribunal. Barnet only had the one which is more a reflection of how hard it is to get a costs award than of their good behaviour.

This is the yellow box near Sainsburys in North Finchley. If turning left off the High Road it is now in the Highway Code that a motorist should let a pedestrian cross so we might see some more PCNs like this one.



The amount awarded is still less than the value of the PCN (£130). Every PCN found to be wrong should be the subject of a fixed costs award, that would bring some balance to a lop-sided system.
