    If the company vehicle is leased. Then the admin fee may be charged by the leasing company to your employer. Then simply passed on.

    It still isnt clear if their boss is ordering them to park in bus lanes or not, to be honest.

    If they are the OP needs to speak to their union as he shouldnt be penalised for following his bosses orders.
    If they aren't, the OP simply needs to stop being a numpty and stop parking in them until his vehicle is put on an approved list of vehicles the local council will keep.
    Strictly speaking he should still be penalised for following the bosses orders if the boss is asking him to do something illegal! The correct course of action is to refuse and were he to be dismissed it would automatically be unfair dismissal.

    "I was only following orders" is known as the "Nuremberg defence" which didn't work too well!
    Unless it's under 2 years service.

    No!
    The "two year rule" doesn't apply if you are dismissed for asserting a statutory right or in certain other limited circumstances. In the hypothetical situation we are talking about here (refusing to comply if the employer tells them to break the law) the employee could claim unfair dismissal from day one of their employment.
