PCNs Issued:
The total number of PCNs issued for the Authority / Authorities*, Penalty Type/s and Year/s selected. A Pie Chart visualising the PCNs issued is presented underneath the figure.

* Where the number of PCNs issued by an authority is listed as Zero, this is either because that authority is yet to provide data to the Tribunal, or was not in existence for the year selected. Please contact the authority directly for data on PCNs issued in these instances.

PCNs Appealed:
The total number of PCNs appealed to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for the Penalty Type and Year selected.

Allowed / Refused:
Appeals that were successful (allowed) or unsuccessful (refused) by an Adjudicator, based on the facts / evidence of the case.

Not Contested by Authority
Appeals that were successful, as the Authority chose not to contest the case.

Consent Order
