it certainly does not break the law so its legal, but fails many legal arguments
appeal to APCOA , do not name the driver, use the blue text appeal in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread, do not change it or add to it at all
they will refuse and give you a popla code
then follow the advice in these threads to appeal to popla

apcoa will not contest the appeal, so you win , in the end , but you have to go through the motions
byelaws apply and no keeper liability, which is why you dont name the driver0 -
thanks for your help mate much appreciated0

APCOA are morons for keep sending out these spurious claims at Luton and Brum , but they just keep doing it , and failing for anyone who fights back, but I am sure some just pay up keeping the profits up, hence why they issue them to everyone
same applies at JLA and RHA etc but then its V.C.S. , not APCOA

I bet they're all up at least 9:1. Good business if you can get it.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
