Undated Notice of Rejection - is it legally enforcable?
Hi all
I recently appealed against a pcn and the appeal has been rejected. However, the Notice of Rejection, which I think is a legal document, is UNDATED! This document outlines the next stage in the process, and one of those options is to pay up within 28 days. If they don't get the cash, they apply to the court for an enforcement order, which is when it gets nasty and the bailiffs get involved. Does anyone think I would stand a chance of getting this thrown out on a technicality if I attended Court and brought the undated document along as exhibit 'A'?! Surely worth a try, and wouldn't it be fun to stick it to the b*stards!!!???
Re: Undated Notice of Rejection - is it legally enforcable?
Which Court were you intending to go to?
Under DPE. You can make an informal appeal to the Council. If they reject this, you get a notice to owner which will explain how you formally appeal to PATAS or NPAS (depending on location). Only once this appeak is rejected and you fail to pay will the Council apply to the bulk processing cemtre at Northampton county court for a CCJ. Without a CCJ, there can be no baliff involvement.
CAN you confirm that this is a pcn issued by a council; under the Road Traffic Act 1991? Which Council?
