Make an Appeal
You can only Appeal to the independent Adjudicator if you have made a Representation in time which has been rejected by TfL. You will have been sent a Notice of Appeal form with the Notice of Rejection.
The Parking and Traffic Appeals Service (PATAS) is an independent body which acts as a tribunal service. Its decision is final and binding on both you and TfL.
If you disagree with our decision, you have the right to Appeal.
- To Appeal you need to complete the form sent with the Notice of Rejection
- Do not send this to TfL but to the address shown on the Appeal form
- You may opt for either a personal or postal hearing
Remember, you only have 28 days from the date of the Notice of Rejection to appeal to PATAS
- You need to provide all your evidence to the Adjudicator and not TfL
- When TfL is notified of your Appeal by PATAS we will freeze the PCN. You should, however, note that you may be asked to pay the PCN at the full amount if you are unsuccessful
- TfL will then also provide evidence to PATAS and will provide you with a copy of this evidence
- The Adjudicator will then make a decision looking at your evidence and TfL's evidence pack. Adjudicators cannot consider mitigating circumstances or apply their discretion
- A copy of the Adjudicator's decision will be sent to both you and TfL
Appeal Allowed
This means that following consideration by the Adjudicator the tribunal has found in your favour. This will mean that you are no longer liable for the PCN.
Appeal Refused
This means that following consideration by the Adjudicator the tribunal has found in TfL's favour. The Adjudicator will have listed the reasons why and given direction as to the amount that is owed and how quickly this must be paid.More information about the Appeals Process can be found on the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service website.
