The address on the traffic warrant or other bailiff document is wrong.

Where an Act authorises a document to be served by post, the service is deemed to be effected, unless evidence to the contrary is proved.^[1]

The warrant of control having a wrong enforcement address is evidence the bailiff did not give a Notice of Enforcement.^[2]

If the original traffic contravention is unknown, the debtor may make a late witness statement or late statutory declaration.^[3][4]

If the traffic contravention debt is not disputed, the bailiff may not recover the enforcement fees because the bailiff did not use the Schedule 12 procedure by giving a Notice of enforcement,^[2][5][6] and the defendant may apply to the court for a detailed assessment.^[7][8]
