Camden council (the worst for this we were told) refused to re-open the case as it had been paid, I sent a letter on the employees behalf to the lease company stating they weren't getting anything for their stupidty!

Well done you.! :T

Why post it here? You need to go to PePiPoo as previously advised.

One of my employees was done for driving in a bus lane at 3:45 PM when the bus lanes in that area didn't start until 4PM, and the street stated on the PCN had no bus lane, and was not wide enough to even get a bus down.

It's all about the money, but they are winnable!!

Camden Council are quite open to retrospective appeals, but they are not good at transferring liability. The choice is either pay, recharge and deal with a retrospective appeal within a few weeks of the event happening, or try to transfer, receive a rejection a month or two later, appeal the rejection, in the meantime a charge cert is issued, and 6 months later the lease company is pinging the drivers' credit card for £200+

Hire agreements "should" enable liability to be transferred, but lease companies are at the whim of individual public sector petty jobsworths.
Have a look at Schedule 2 of the Road Traffic (Owner Liability) Regulations 2000 and see what needs to be on a rental agreement in order for it to be transferred. One of the points is a date of birth of the driver. When I lease a vehicle a corporate entity, the agreement doesn't have a date of birth, or a driving licence number, therefore the majority of London authorities refuse to transfer liability... Common sense is not a required attribute for employment it seems.

It's perhaps a bit too late now, but if you present a valid appeal to the registered keeper (lease company) they can submit that to the authority for consideration.
