Of those, 131 were won by the motorist, a sizzling 70%.
The results wouldn't have been anything like as good if Barnet Council hadn't decided to not contest 90 cases.
Only one case of interest (2170526082)
The appellant attended the hearing. I am satisfied that a contravention occurred.
The legislation imposes liability upon the owner of the vehicle.
Mr Subuc of Mayfair Trans Ltd is appealing that at the relevant time the penalty charge was incurred the relevant vehicle was subject to a Hiring Agreement. The local authority has contested this appeal on one ground only: that the hirer gave the same address as the hire firm. The appellant said that this was, "A nonsense."
He attended to contest the appeal on this basis.
I cannot find anything in the legislation that says this is improper.
As the local authority has not addressed any other issues I will therefore allow the appeal.
Not very deep thinking has gone on here. If you lived,say, in a flat above a hire company, where would you go to hire a vehicle? Yes, downstairs to the hire company that is on the spot.
This is a good time of year in which to make your Appeal to the tribunal if you have a Notice of Rejection. Clearly with Xmas coming soon, the council want to clear the decks so may just give up.
Yours appealingly
Miss Feezance
