A Limited Company – v – Wakefield Council
(WP00029-2408)
Traffic Penalty Tribunal
Decision Date: 2024-08-28
Outcome: Dismissed
This case clarifies that once service of the penalty charge notice is correctly executed, the loss of the penalty charge notice (even if unlawfully removed by a third party) does not undermine the validity of it, or limit its enforcement.
The motorist’s non-receipt of the penalty does not cause an extension of the statutory discount to arise as of right and the adjudicator has no power to extend a discount or alter the penalty amount.
Mr M – v – Slough Borough Council
(SB00012-2402)
Traffic Penalty Tribunal
Decision Date: 2024-03-16
Outcome: Dismissed
This case clarifies that a vehicle is parked even if the motorist remains in the vehicle with the engine running, and that stopping, waiting or parking on double yellow lines in order to receive a telephone call is not permitted.
