Silvertown/Blackwall Tunnel — PCN not served properly or too late

Legal basis

Road User Charging Schemes (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/1783) — service of the penalty charge notice/charge certificate, the representation and adjudication timetable, and the right of appeal to London Tribunals; ground of procedural impropriety.

How to identify this in your case

Is this you? Check the date the PCN was issued or served and compare it with the date of the alleged offence — if too much time has passed, service may be out of time. Also check whether the PCN clearly states: what you are accused of, the penalty amount, the deadlines for paying and for making representations, and your right to appeal to London Tribunals (Environment and Traffic Adjudicators). If any of those details are missing or wrong, this ground may apply to you.

Sample appeal wording

formal

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