Parking Ticket Defective Form

Local authority parking tickets in Ireland must contain specific prescribed information. Missing elements render the ticket defective.

Legal basis

Road Traffic Act 2010 Section 36; Local authority bye-laws.

How to identify this in your case

Check ticket against prescribed form requirements - must include date, time, location, offence code, registration, and payment details.

Sample appeal wording

I appeal this parking fine on the grounds that the ticket issued is defective. It fails to contain [SPECIFY: the correct date/time/location/offence description/proper payment instructions] as required by the Road Traffic Act 2010 and associated regulations. A defective ticket cannot support enforcement proceedings.

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