A Limited Company – v – Transport for London
(2230404203)

London: Environment and Traffic

Decision Date: 2023-12-14

Outcome: Dismissed

This case clarifies that a review is not an opportunity to bolster a case and that the statement of truth is sufficient to demonstrate that an enforcement camera holds the correct certificate, demonstrating that it meets the requirements of Schedule 1 of the Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions)(England) Regulations 2022.  Further evidence underpinning the certificate or the statement, or any kind of evidential chain, is not required to meet the civil standard of proof. Appeal and review proceedings are public hearings.

Mr B – v – Westminster City Council
(2110325661)

London: Environment and Traffic

Decision Date: 2012-06-25

Outcome: Dismissed

This case clarifies that is not for an adjudicator to consider whether the certification of a traffic camera is correct.

The camera certificate as provided by the authority is accepted at face value. The approval and certification process is a matter between the authority and the Vehicle Certification Agency, and by association, the Secretary of State for Transport.

This case was decided as a panel decision together with P Motors – v- Westminster City Council (2110534297).
