Parked after expiry of time paid for in a pay and display car park. (Contravention Code 82)

How to have your penalty charge notice (PCN) for this parking contravention cancelled.

We may be able to assist you in having your penalty charge notice for this contravention cancelled. In order to ensure that you receive the maximum help we have developed an easy to follow 3 stage process.

-This may also include diagrams and pictures showing signage requirements etc.

Possible grounds of appeal for this contravention

1. Are the instructions clearly visible and understandable on the pay and display machine? If the controlled hours are not on the signs were you able to see the details on the machine. Was it dark and a streetlight not working? The local authority has an obligation to make sure that the hours of enforcement and the signs advising that you are in a pay and display car park and the terms and conditions are clearly visible. If they are not then you should appeal. Also check that the charge fee shown and the penalty on the signs and machines is the same as sometimes machines/signs are not updated with the new charges or indeed the new fines for non compliance .If there is any discrepancy then you should appeal.

Below we show diagrams of the signs which must be in situ by law and much more information that will help you decide whether to appeal against your penalty charge notice.

We have even summarised adjudicator's decisions where motorists have won. As this site took over a year to develop and cost a small fortune and in order to support our constant campaigning against this usually unfair assault on the motorist we ask for a small contribution to view the rest of this page and the entire site. For details of what we do for the motorist see the section on the home page. Many thanks.
