Thank you for your response. Do you mean 'not being the owner of the vehicle' is not necessarily a sub-point of 'alleged contravention did not occur'? They are two separate issues. Good point..... On first page where it says 'The vehicle identified above was observed at Hrs on 16/07/2013' the PCN does not mention the time of observation. Is this also a ground for appeal?

Hello everyone. I received a PCN code 26 'on the basis of a record produced by an approved device' through the post. I stopped to pick up my elderly father from my brother's house (he could be seen boarding the car in the photo taken). My car was not stationary for more than couple of minutes partly because of a slip in the engine gear box. I never left the driving seat. There was no car behind me getting obstructed (in fact if there was a car behind me the driver would be much more considerate than this CCTV operator). There was no place available on right or left to park in a bay while picking up my father. There were no loading or unloading restrictions. Alleged contravention time is 17:38. Residential parking permit restrictions applied only till 17:30. I note that the CCTV camera car on that street is normally used to issue tickets for 'no right turn'. But it was strange they would use it for code 26 without giving me any warning, without finding out the reason for stoppage and in less than 2 minutes. Please note contravention time is mentioned but no observation time is mentioned on the PCN (Pdf copy attached).[ATTACH=CONFIG]45451[/ATTACH] Do I have a chance for appeal? Anything wrong with the notice itself? I need your help.

Thanks for your response. You have really given me some hope. Yes, it was informal appeal. On the back of the PCN, they have outlined process for formal appeal. I have neverthless emailed them the death certificate today and got their automated reply back. But this is emailed out of 14 day discount offer preiod. Sorry what's PATAS?

Hello all... I am a new user to this site. A PCN issued under code 12 is the reason why I am here. My mother passed away on 31/05/2013 and my car had been parked overnight in front of my brother's house. Parking restrictions (resident or business permit holders only) applied from 8:30am to 5:30pm (Mon - Sat). I had been up all night grieving and only momentarily slept when at 9:07am on 01/06/2013 the ticket was issued. My sister saw the warden come close to my car and by the time she woke me up and I went out the ticket was issued in less than 2 minutes. I wrote to council mentioning them that my mother had only passed away hours earlier and the oversight was a result of that and that the ticket should be canceled. They requested a copy of death certificate which I sent the same day. I confirmed they have received it by calling them yesterday. But today, they wrote to me saying that since they have not received the copy of death certificate my challenge is rejected. I am now out of 14 day discount period too. Kindly help me to see if there are some procedural errors involved in issuing the ticket. I note that observation time is from 9:01 to 9:07 on PCN which is not true. My sister says the warden issued a ticket in a minute. I have seen four photographs on council website and in all four the earliest time is 9:06am and the latest is 9:08am. I have attached the copy of the PCN. I can attach photos also if required. Adnan
