TEC
Fact sheet. Comment; when you file a
statutory declaration p2/p3 the PCN gets referred back to the
council, not revoked. It then gets any bailiff action
suspended during this period when the council accepts or
rejects the appeal, usually 20-25 days. If the council rejects
the appeal, then it goes to a TEC court officer to decide what
next, and he will usually accept the council's rejection and
reject the appeal. DURING this PERIOD it
is very IMPORTANT, that you are ready with the NEXT
statutory declaration N244, that requests TEC's decision
(part 2 of the form) to have the court
officer's decision SET ASIDE, ant then the case get
transferred to your local county court for a hearing. The N244
is free, usually in standard proceedings it costs £65. PATAS
and TEC are like logic gates, they are supposed to be impartial,
and decisions taken on strict facts, mitigating circumstances
have to be somewhat force majeure. When tested or examined for
bias, PATAS is found in the author's observance to be biased in
favour of the council, and arguments that say they are
independent usually are found from government or self promoting
advocates of the system that is a ring fence to an abattoir.
Mercy rarely exists in this scheme.
THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CENTRE
(TEC) The Traffic Enforcement Centre (formally the Parking
Enforcement Centre) was established to put into effect
procedures, for dealing with unpaid parking fines, bus lane
contravention’s, vehicle emission penalties, Congestion
Charging and Moving Contravention’s. The TEC is based
at the County Court Bulk Centre and operates as apart of
Northampton County Court.
What happens before the
penalty charge/fixed penalty is registered? The following
stages occur before the charge is registered with TEC in the
case of parking and bus lane penalties: 1.A Penalty Charge
Notice would have been issued. This should have been paid or
appealed against as per instructions given on the notice. 2.A
Notice to Owner/Enforcement Notice/Penalty Charge Notice would
have been sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle
(not necessarily the driver at the time of the offence). This
amount should have been paid or disputed. Representations should
have been made in writing to the Local Authority and, if
appropriate, an appeal made to the Parking/Traffic
Adjudicator. 3.A Charge Certificate would have been issued 28
days after the penalty charge notice. The penalty charge is
increased by 50%. This should have been paid to the Local
Authority.
In the case of vehicle emissions, only a Fixed
Penalty Notice is issued to the vehicle driver. This should have
been paid or a hearing into the offence requested. If no action
is taken after 28 days, the penalty will increase.
If the
penalty charge/fixed penalty notice still remains unpaid after a
further 14 days, the Local Authority may register it with the
TEC to recover the outstanding amount under a county court
order.
What should I do if I have already
paid the penalty charge/fixed penalty?
You must contact the Local
Authority with your proof of payment. If you do nothing the
Local Authority may attempt to recover the penalty charge/fixed
penalty.
What should I do if I wish to contest the
charge? At this stage for parking and bus lane
contravention’s there are only three grounds under which
the charge may be contested:
1.The Notice to
Owner/Enforcement Notice/Penalty Charge Notice was not
received. 2.Formal representations against the Notice to
Owner/Enforcement Notice/Penalty Charge Notice have been made to
the Local Authority within 28 days of the service of the
notice to owner/Enforcement Notice/Penalty Charge Notice but a
rejection notice has not been received. 3.An appeal has
been made to the Parking/Traffic Adjudicator against the Local
Authority’s decision to reject the representation within
28 days of the service of the rejection notice but no response
has been received.
In the case of vehicle emissions only
two grounds are permissible: 1.The Fixed Penalty Notice has
not been received. 2.A request for the variation of the Fixed
Penalty has been made to the authority pursuant to Regulation 19
of the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty)
(England) Regulations 2002, but you did not receive notification
that the Fixed Penalty had been reduced or (as the case may
be) that your request had been refused nor of the amount that
was payable.
If any of these apply you should file a
Statutory Declaration with TEC within 21 days from the date of
the Order of Recovery.
If your Penalty Charge is a London
Borough Parking Offence only one ground for appeal can be
indicated and the witness must provide a full postal
address.
If you wish to challenge the charge for any
other reason for example, you simply disagree with the rejection
of your representation you should not make a Statutory
Declaration but should contact the Local Authority directly.
Where can my Statutory Declaration be sworn? Your
Statutory Declaration must be witnessed (sworn) by any of the
following before it can be accepted by the TEC:
1.An
officer appointed by the Judge to take affidavits. These can be
found at your Local County Court. No fee is payable for
this service. 2.A Justice of the Peace at any Magistrates
Court. You may have to pay a fee and should contact your Local
Magistrates Court for further information. 3.A Solicitor
or Commissioner for Oaths. You may have to pay a fee and should
contact the Solicitors office for details.
What happens if I file a valid
Statutory Declaration? TEC will revoke the Order for
Recovery. This does not mean that the penalty charge/fixed
penalty has been cancelled. The Local Authority may continue
the process; they will contact you if they intend to take any
further action.
What happens if I do not
respond? If you do not file a valid Statutory Declaration
with TEC within 21 days of the date of the Order for Recovery,
the Local Authority may enforce the charge by requesting a
warrant. When the warrant has been authorised by TEC, the Local
Authority will employ certificated bailiffs to execute the
warrant.
What should I do if the Bailiff has been
instructed and I wish to appeal? Provided a Statutory
Declaration can be filed under one or more of the grounds and
there was a good reason why the Statutory Declaration was not
filed earlier (within the 21 day time limit), you should contact
the TEC on 08457 045007 to request a Late Statutory
Declaration. This should be sent to the TEC and not the Local
Authority.
Who do I pay? You must send any payment
direct to the Local Authority. Any payments received by TEC will
be returned. If you have any queries regarding payment
arrangements you must contact the Local Authority.
How do
I find out if a warrant has been issued? You may contact the
Local Authority or TEC to find out if a warrant has been
issued. (If you contact TEC you must quote the penalty
charge/fixed penalty notice number. TEC is unable to trace your
case without it).
Who do I contact regarding Bailiff
action? As the Local Authority employs the bailiffs, any
queries must be addressed to the bailiffs or the Local
Authority.
TEC cannot suspend or cancel any bailiff
action.
Any complaints about the conduct of a bailiff
must be made to the county court that issued the certificate for
the bailiff and not the TEC.
Will the charge be
registered as a judgement? Although the charge is registered
in the county court, the information is not held on the Register
of County Court Judgements.
Further advice TEC staff
cannot give you advice on points of law, but can send you form’s
and give you information about TEC procedures. When
corresponding with TEC please ensure that the penalty
charge/fixed penalty notice number is quoted in full.

* Culpability
as
the function of anticipation and expectation. * Syllogistic
reasoning with either the classic major & minor premises or
implied premises. * The three laws of thought that render
judgments irrefutable in any time, world or space. * Their
corresponding verification using matrix truth tables in the
calculus of logic. * Judgments of subsumption and
comparison. * Scientific Methodology and its substrate of
necessary and sufficient conditions in nomic relationships. *
Venn Diagrams and class concepts. * Frege's 'Sense and
Reference', and Russel's 'On Denoting'. * Newtons 1st
law of motion upgraded with the teleology of goal seeking
entities, and observations of their employment in what is best
described as the function of a goal and the critical path being
followed in a course of conduct, that includes the management of
personnel on a 'need to know' basis and precision manipulation
to permit the parties coming to the front and stating truthfully
they are 'NOT AWARE'. * Widespread use of economy of truth,
and false emphasis in the art of 'suppression veri' and
'suggestio falsi'. * Cloaking assertions in the aforesaid
economies of truth, and providing the context that gives them
credibility and authority that is fallacious. * Classic
fallacies, plus a new set of fallacies of conduct observed in
widespread use, and underpinning 'spin'.
References
are also made to Heraclitus, theory of flux, Plato's forms, and
Aristotle's laws of thought, where the chrono topology of the
laws of thought is set outside the framework. * And the more
objective correspondence theory that is intuitive in
Aristotle's definition of Truth as opposed to Russell's that is
more subjective. * Unambiguous and unequivocal contextual
inferencing, a discipline that is not as far as the author can
see, used widely if at all. It has its complexities and
relies on aggregates of conjunctive and disjunctive
propositions. Probably this is the more difficult to
understand, but is was many times, and in a cause in action
twice, to absolute precision in a determination, and
established as very reliable at a high level in the balance of
probabilities. Where possible, these will be explained in short
sentences that give greater insight. The academia for these
expositions are not required by the reader at all, they are
stated as references, and will be referred to very briefly.
While this all sounds perhaps somewhat pretentious, I shall
depose two sentences that are exemplary of two of the
disciplines in use here, to show they are most certainly not
mere abstractions but that civilisation as we know it relies on
them entirely for their efficacy and pragmatic reliability. TWO
disciplines.
1.
Scientific methodology and the use of necessary and sufficient
conditions.
Sufficient
and necessary conditions.
Best
expressed as a conditional, easily understood in this simplest
of unqualified example.
IF
there is one simple condition, or nomic relationship for the
existence of life, THEN,
the
presence of oxygen is necessary
for life, if and only if the
absence of oxygen is sufficient
for the absence of life.
If
there are more conditions, then substitute water for oxygen in
the above and you have two conditions or causes.
If
there are more, one may substitute vitamin D, and observe what
happens and discover that where it is absent then rickets
occurs and where present it does not, so that has determined a
cause of rickets, but not life. These principles are behind
medical aetiologies, and all nomic or causal relationships.
2.
Truth and correspondence, theory much easier.
”To
say of what is that it is
not, or of what is
not that it is, is
false, while
to say of what is that it
is, or of what is
not that it is not, is
true.”
