What happens
at my appeal?
Once
an Appeal is lodged, the NITPT will write to you
confirming receipt. You will then receive notification
of hearing shortly thereafter.
If a postal application has been requested
the appeal will be acknowledged and placed before the
next available Adjudicator. If a personal appearance has
been requested the appellant will receive a Notice of
Attendance stating the date, time and location of
hearing.
The Tribunal hearings normally take place
in the TPT Room, Headline Building, Belfast, or in one
of the courthouses within the Province. Attending the
Tribunal for personal hearings will be the Adjudicator,
a representative from the Roads Service and the
appellant. The Tribunal is intended to be, at all times,
informal and the Adjudicator will guide each party
through the hearing, ensuring each has the opportunity
to put their case forward.
Although those attending will not be asked
to take an oath, and whilst the Tribunal endeavours to
remain informal, all parties are reminded of their duty
to tell the truth at all times.
The Adjudicator should give his/her
decision immediately, but each party will receive a
written Notice of Decision from the Tribunal. If the
appeal is upheld (granted), the Roads Service will be
notified to withdraw the PCN (or refund your clamping
fees etc as per the Adjudicator’s decision). If the
appeal is refused, the appellant has 28 days from the
date of the Adjudicator’s written decision to pay the
penalty to the Roads Service.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY
TO THE TRIBUNAL.
