Statutory Second-Stage Appeal Filing Methods (S.I. 203/2025)
Under S.I. 203/2025 (effective 1 October 2025), a second-stage appeal of a clamping decision must be accepted by the NTA through any of three methods: online NTA form, email, or postal/hand delivery to the NTA main office. If a parking operator or controller refuses any of these channels, or if the NTA fails to log a properly-submitted appeal, the appellant has grounds to escalate. The appellant must include (a) the grounds of appeal, (b) a copy of the first-stage determination letter, and (c) any supporting documents.
Legal basis
Vehicle Clamping Act 2015 s.22; S.I. No. 203/2025 — Vehicle Clamping Act 2015 (Appeals Procedure) Regulations 2025 (filing methods and required contents).
How to identify this in your case
Confirm the parking controller refused to accept your appeal via one of the prescribed methods, or that the NTA's online form was unavailable at the time of submission.
