Setting aside the obscure legal arguments, what are your real concerns
about the operation of PATAS? *Do you have any examples where bias has
been demonstrated? *Is this all because you were caught not paying the
congestion charge 5 years ago? *
Sorry. Here is a brief explanation from my web site which I hope will
clarify things.

‘Lilley, who is not a user of the congestion charge scheme, got a
congestion charging penalty charge notice for £50, out of the blue,
dated 6th September 2004 and timed 18:13:19, when he accidentally went
into London in the evening, earlier than normal, to see a play.

Oh, surprise, surprise! *This is all because you entered the zone during
its hours of operation and failed to pay the charge. Instead of just
paying the legitimate penalty, you claim you are "not a user of the
congestion charge scheme", and that everyone else is biased. *Just cough
up and shut up.

No, that isn’t ‘all.’ You are misrepresenting what I wrote.
Your claim that the penalty is legitimate, is just a bald assertion.
So that is a failure to give adequate reasons. That is what some of
the judges have done. and it is illegal for a public body to make such
a decision. If you were in court, making such a defence, you would
have to give reasons. That is not fair comment.

If you are happy with not being able to get a hearing, non
notification of debts, fines before conviction and excessive fines,
rights that go back centuries, then I suggest you look at those
countries without such rights, and consider if you would prefer to
live there. And if we do not defend these rights we will lose them.
These rights go back to Magna Carta and earlier. Our ancestors have
fought and died for them. So I am not coughing up or shutting up, I am
standing up, for my, and other citizens rights.
