Common defences for a Lewisham code 25 PCN include inadequate or missing signage, a defective traffic regulation order, failure to follow the observation procedure, incorrect contravention code, and procedural failures in serving the notice.

No. A Lewisham code 25 PCN may be incorrectly issued for several reasons: the signage may not comply with regulations, the observation period may not have been followed correctly, the TRO may be defective, or the code may not match what actually happened.

Ignoring a Lewisham code 25 PCN leads to escalation: notice to owner, then a charge certificate (increasing the penalty by 50%), then registration at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, and eventually bailiff enforcement. Responding early preserves the most options.
