    although these dont usually progress to an MCOL, I believe there may be a couple over on pepipoo forums about JLA with VCS, so maybe look on there for any suitable defences

    I know there used to be a fighting fund to help out with any future court cases on airport land like JLA, so the people involved in all of the above may be able to help you , although leaving it this late is very stupid given the issues involved (bylaws , no POFA2012 relevance etc) but I hope somebody can hone the above

    Simple question is how many signs did you pass on the way and how detailed were they about the consequences of stopping.

    IMHO VCS have cracked the Airport/Byelaws issue so it will be down to the clarity of the signs and whether any reasonable person could have seen them.

    You might want to dig out a copy of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 as they give a good indication of what could be seen by a driver at speed

    Different Airport, but same sort of claim:

    The OP and that OP should exchange pm's to ensure they are well supported and consistent, and have a full understanding of the fact they are arguing against a charge issued under contract, not under byelaws.

    Yes, to the same email address that you used for your Defence.

    Remember to send a copy to the Claimant.

    Yes the DQ can be emailed to the same email you sent the defence. And from this point on, everything also has to be served to the Claimant as well.
