A parking ticket had wrongly identified the town in which the ticket was issued, and the ticket described the offence as ‘No Waiting’ where the defendant said he should have been accused of waiting. The magistrates allowed it to be amended. The defendant appealed his conviction after appeal to the Crown Court, which had found no prejudice.
Held: the defects were not fundamental and the defendant had understood what was alleged, and the appeal failed.
