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.
Ms P – v – London Borough of Bexley
(2180150154)
London: Environment and Traffic
Decision Date: 2018-08-02
Outcome: Dismissed
This case clarifies that a vehicle stopped in contravention outside a school is not required to have its wheels on the ‘zigzag’ road markings to be in contravention of the no stopping prohibition.
Mr B and others – v – London Borough of Tower Hamlets and others
London: Environment and Traffic
Decision Date: 2016-01-15
Outcome: Dismissed
This case clarifies that the loading / unloading exemption applies only to motorists parked to collect or deliver heavy or bulky items. The activity must be continuous and does not include shopping or parking simply for convenience or, for example, to collect valuable but small items (such as cash from a bank).
A Construction Company – v – London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
(2130509011)
London: Environment and Traffic
Decision Date: 2014-07-03
Outcome: Dismissed
This case clarifies that there has to be a physical and structural alteration to a vehicle for it to be classed as being adapted to a goods vehicle. The fact that seating can be lowered or removed to enable goods to be carried does not in itself change the purpose for which the vehicle was constructed.
Mr D – v – London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
(2130483643)
London: Environment and Traffic
Decision Date: 2014-02-14
Outcome: Dismissed
This case highlights that the purpose of the restriction is to keep a box junction clear and the regulations should be construed to reflect this. A contravention occurs even if a vehicle could have moved to a separate lane to exit the junction. A motorist may protect himself against the possibility of having to stop due to stationary vehicles by waiting until he can see unoccupied space beyond the junction.
