He sounds as if he would be entitled to a blue badge.

Unfortunately he does not qualify for a Blue badge as with his rollator he can walk a short distance. Also his mobility is caused by OA and he is awaiting a hip replacement - so classed as a temporary condition. He is not in receipt of Attendance Allowance or any other mobility/health related benefits.


I was lucky as there was a space outside Barclays and he could walk the few yards to the dentist.

Hopefully you'll be lucky - I had exactly the same problem taking bags to the charity shop from the same place a while ago. Luckily I was able to send extracts from my dash cam to show when I arrived and left and the fine was cancelled. (I was told that I should have left e.g. the boot open to show I was "loading" like lorries do - I did point out having to leave a car unsecured seemed like a high price to pay for using a bay for the intended use!)
I appealed a bus lane offence once citing a previously successful appeal in the same circumstances. The adjudicator dismissed my appeal because he disagreed with that judgement. Essentially I learned that appeals seem not to form part of case law and set no precedent.

Decisions don't bind a court or tribunal at the same level. The decision of one magistrates court does not bind another although it may have persuasive power.


Decisions by a more senior tribunal or an appeal court bind lower courts.


Although you were appealing the ticket, you were applying to the lowest level tribunal (ie it was a first court case). Their decision was not bound by decisions by other tribunals at that level but they would be bound by a more senior tribunal.

Can I see see the judgement in your case? The link will do.

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
