Westminster Parking Enforcement 'suspended.'

We have in our possession a letter from Westminster City Council (5th September 2006) confirming that they "have suspended action in all affected cases" (affected by the Barnet decision regarding the date of issue issue). "All challenges have been put on hold and no notices ( NtOs, NoR, Charge Certificates or Warrants) are currently being generated."

The questions that now have to be asked are:

(i) What is the total number and value ot PCNs currently put 'on hold'?

(ii) How many non-compliant PCNs have been issued following the initial advice in 2002 from ALGs Nick Lester?

It appears that the arrogance of Local Authorities and the belief that the law does not apply to them may well come back and bite them very hard.
It is clear from the advice now issued by ALGs Nick Lester is that 'you were told!' He is of course protecting his and the ALGs position.

As for NCP Ltd. ... they were aware on 16th June 2005 in Sunderland that the PCNs needed to be changed to include a Date of Issue. Why then did they not take matters seriously and act unilaterally across their contracts?
