An order and maps did not prove the alleged parking event (2026)

Case 2250022866 / 2025-05-01 / Adjudicator Belinda Pearce

LEROY STREET (GR)

Belinda Pearce allowed the appeal because the authority had not supplied evidence substantiating the alleged contravention. The parking order and plans did not establish what the vehicle was doing at the relevant time.

“In the absence of evidence to substantiate the assertion I can find no contravention proved.”

Belinda Pearce, case 2250022866

The underlying allegation was parking without a required permit or payment. The company appealing the PCN said the vehicle was on hire, but that was not the issue which ultimately determined the appeal.

The authority supplied a copy of the PCN, the governing traffic management order and two maps or plans. It supplied no contemporaneous officer notes or photographs to substantiate the alleged event. Belinda Pearce found that the authority had not proved the contravention.

The appeal was allowed without deciding the other issues. The ruling did not establish that the hire arrangements transferred liability or that the parking restriction itself was invalid. It distinguished evidence of the governing restriction from evidence that this vehicle contravened it.

This is a shared evidence example, not a ruling on every parking code. In a comparable case, identify the particular allegation which the evidence fails to establish. The relevant proof may be officer observations, video, photographs or other records; this decision does not make one document universally mandatory or import permit requirements into a different offence.
