Appealing to the Tribunal
If you are intending to submit an appeal online against a penalty charge notice we will need to check the details you have provided. Due to the seasonal holidays we may not be able to contact the authority that issued the penalty charge notice. We will notify you after 2 January 2024 whether your appeal has been registered. If there are further details we require we will let you know as soon as possible after that date.

Have a Telephone / Video Hearing,

Our Adjudicators can make an ‘e-Decision’ based on the evidence submitted (as well as through messages received), often in a matter of days.
In some cases, it may be helpful for us to conduct a Telephone or Video Hearing between you, the authority and Adjudicator, to discuss further details of your case. However you choose to receive your decision, it will clearly explain the Adjudicator’s reasons.
