Leah Bennett said she renewed before the deadline, but had no independent confirmation. The court said the council's later-receipt account did not prove that no earlier application arrived.
A portal log showed a timely identity-file upload, but not whether the file was readable or whether the applicant had a chance to correct it.
A counter receipt proved the renewal was submitted, but not what it contained. Municipal records marked an identity copy missing without showing exactly how staff checked.

The office register placed the application after the deadline. A complete electronic receipt will now be inspected to determine whether it was completed in time.
An upload receipt confirmed a file arrived, not that it was complete. The agreement allows a missing attachment to be supplied without a new application fee.
A 29 April receipt supported timely submission, but not a complete renewal. An unexplained 2 May status entry did not prove lateness either.

A receipt and saved submission screen supported a claim of timely renewal, but neither resolved the missing permit number. The settlement removes the fee without an admission of fault.
