To get to the tribunal your perfectly reasonable representations to Barnet Council will have met with one refusal as a minimum and possibly two. Although historically Mr Mustard has seen most such Appeals refused and the PCN upheld because the adjudicator has applied the law strictly there is a move by some adjudicators away from such a position to a more purposive one. Here is such an example:
The 8 and 9 keys are small and adjacent on a horrible little metal keyboard designed to be tough not to be tactile.
Although the adjudicator put it in English as the Courts have moved away from Latin this is the principle of 'de minimis non curat lex'.
What Mr Mustard has never understood is why the council think it is acceptable to punish a motorist in this way. He has paid to park his car, the council will not have refunded that sum and so they want to have their cake and eat it. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth with the motorist who quite rightly thinks that the council is staffed by pettyfogging bureaucrats with no common sense and if he can 'get them back' some day he surely will.
The end.
