10,004 PCN’s were issued for contravention code 73.

2. How many of those PCNs issued were challenged
3,334 PCN’s were challenged.

3. How many of those challenges were upheld
2,199 Challenges were accepted against the issue of a PCN.

4. How many of those challenges were upheld because the PCN had been issued in error.
There were 46 recorded CEO error PCN’s.
