The above tribunal case, one of seven that afternoon, didn't require Mr Mustard to say much to the adjudicator other than 'thank you' as he had done the spade work, argued the case consistently and placed a skeleton argument on file to boil the case down for the adjudicator to what was disputed.
It isn't only awful that Bexley Council has a policy of refusing representations if the blue badge holder isn't the driver given that the nature of some disabilities would hamper the safe driving of some (so you want them to be the passenger for the good of the community) but that having placed a bay outside the house of Mrs Sehmi for her convenience the council wanted to part her from £110 when she was suffering post operative pain following a major operation.
It is morally repugnant of any council to enforce a PCN in such circumstances. A policy change is desperately needed. PCNs have got to stop being used as a vehicle for revenue raising.
End.
