Wrong Date/Time on Notice

If the PCN shows an incorrect date or time of the alleged contravention, this undermines the reliability of the evidence and may show you weren't even present.

Legal basis

POFA 2012 Schedule 4 Paragraph 9(2)(a) - notice must specify 'the period of parking to which the notice relates'.

How to identify this in your case

Check the date/time on PCN against your records (payment receipts, GPS data, calendar, witnesses).

Sample appeal wording

The alleged contravention date/time of [DATE/TIME] is incorrect. I can demonstrate that [STATE YOUR ALIBI/EVIDENCE]. I attach [EVIDENCE TYPE] confirming my vehicle's location at the material time. The operator's ANPR or attendant evidence is unreliable and this PCN must be cancelled.

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