Hi all I'm considering appealing a PCN by post (no photos) and can't find a similar offence on here so thought I'd post for some assistance. Here are the details of the contravention: Date of contravention: 09/04/2012 Time of contravention: 10:13 Location: WEST END LANE - (Barnet, London) Contravention code: 01: Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. The PCN is being served by post because CEO: 384 observed the vehicle identified above from 10:11 to 10:13 and attempted to serve a PCN by affixing it to the vehicle or giving it to the person appearing to be in charge of the vehicle. So the situation: I was dropping off my car for an MOT in a local garage - it has limited parking and it was all taken up and all other parking spots were taken so I parked on a single yellow as I had a baby and toddler with me, before going into the garage and handing the owner my keys clarifying where I was parked, as he confirmed my details in his book. I leaned out to check the car and ensure there was no parking officers there and there was not and so headed off. The garage owner called me a short while later to say that in the short time he went back to his office to replace his book and go out to the car (minute or two), two CEOs came along in their car and were issuing a PCN. He argued with them but they saw no sense so drove the car away. He believed that we had grounds for appeal as they were there for such a short time as to not be able to take any photos and no notice was affixed to the windscreen - but that he would help with any appeal. Anyway I've received the above PCN - and have checked and no photos are online, and so I need to write in an appeal and need help to ensure I am staging the correct reasons which are 1 - That there has been a procedural impropriety on thepart of the enforcement authority. (A procedural impropriety is clarified tomean a failure by the council to follow proper procedure, 2 - There are compelling reasons why, in the particular circumstances of thecase, the enforcement authority should cancel the charge and maybe 3 - the vehicle had been permitted to remain at rest in place in question by a person who was in control of the vehicle without the owner's consent What do you think? I was parked in the wrong place but I didn't see any other options at the time and was handing my car over to the garage owner who was then in charge of the car - his short delay meant that I got a fine but it was truely very very short indeed. Should I appeal based on one or all of the reasons above, or just pay the fine to avoid it doubling from £55 to £110? Any advice really really appreciated.
