I don't think there's a time limit to serve the Fixed Penalty Notice. However once it is served then 28 days must elapse before commencing proceedings and on my reading the regulations require the offer off a fixed penalty as an option.

I wonder whether, in your case, the facts mean it didn't get beyond a quick review of suitability for prosecution.
