Happy Easter from PATAS


A quiet week in the run up to Easter (from 25 March ) at PATAS with only 37 cases heard. 31 of them led to cancelled parking tickets so 83% of motorists were happy. 8 of the cases were allowed by Order of the Adjudicator so they are probably cases in which evidence was not submitted or where Barnet Council threw in the towel (or NSL threw it in for them).
 
Winning arguments were:
 
that the lines in the loading bay were very faint
that the car was only stopped due to a medical emergency which was that the driver was suffering severe chest pains (Barnet Council are all heart to have contested this one all the way to the end!)
that the CPZ signage in Edgwarebury Gardens was inadequate (it is)
that footway parking in Second Avenue is historically not enforced
that unloading when parked across a dropped kerb is OK
that a reasonable time must be allowed to go into a property to get the blue badge 
that unloading to a hospice charity shop is an exemption
that the council's photos were poor quality & didn't prove a contravention

Feel free to use any of these arguments, that apply, when submitting your appeal.

Yours appealingly

Miss Feezance
