Scottish LEZ — Defective Notice of Rejection / 28-Day Window

Appeal to the General Regulatory Chamber (Transport Appeals) must be lodged within 28 days of the Notice of Rejection. Council failures in issuing or dating the Notice can extend the appellant's window or render the proceedings void.

Legal basis

First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Transport) Rules 2021; LEZ (Scotland) Regulations 2021
