Hundreds of millions to be written off in parking fines

It seems like the Association of London Government has realised the implications of non-compliant PCNs. Nick Lester is now hanging the 33 London Boroughs out to dry, saying that they were told about the non-compliant PCNs as far back as 2002.
The implications are enormous and will cost all Local Authorities across the country hundreds of millions.
Effectively, the decision in Moses v Barnet has meant that no local authority can pursue non-compliant PCNs. Parking Enforcement must now create 'Year Zero' and an amnesty for motorists. They cannot pursue non-compliant PCNs full stop, and that includes being forced to call off the bailiffs.
