Scottish Parking Appeals Chaos ...

Paperwork Problem halts Parking Appeals ... councils using notices that do not comply with the law.

The following story was reported in the Sunday Post yesterday and can be read here but it follows from our call to the Scottish Parking Adjudication Service where it was revealed that all hearings had been adjourned pending a decision by SPAS adjudicators.

This arises from evidence being supplied by appellants, in our case from Mary Watson in Perth and Kinross that the council were using documentaion that did not comply with the law.

As a result, SPAS are expected to make a ruling striking down all such non-compliant documents and forcing councils to abandon enforcement in all pending cases.

Why then has NPAS the adjudication body for England and Wales done the same? Very simple ... to do so would create a problem for their revenue stream as they receive 55p from every PCN issued and striking down tickets in bulk would affect their income.
