Minimal Evidence Burden Challenge

Under Philadelphia Code § 12-2807, the City only needs to submit the parking ticket and DMV registration info. However, this minimal burden can be challenged when facts are disputed.

Legal basis

Philadelphia Code § 12-2807; Due process

Sample appeal wording

I am contesting Citation #[TICKET#] and dispute the factual basis for this citation. While Philadelphia Code § 12-2807 allows minimal evidence, due process requires adequate proof when facts are disputed. I present the following evidence contradicting this citation: [EXPLAIN/ATTACH]. I request dismissal based on insufficient evidence to prove this violation.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
