    As above   ( but NCP  )

    Don't bother complaining about it to Gatwick Airport 

    The non driving,  not even in the country Registered Keeper has no legal liability because schedule 4 of Pofa2012 doesn't apply,  not relevant land 

    The complaint link for NCP is listed on the BPA AOS members list on its right hand side , the complaint being made by the RK and no blabbing about who was driving or about the incident itself,  just about no keeper liability so stop contacting me   !  Add any proof of being abroad at the time,  as proving that they were not the driver

    Your husband as the RK should just make a formal complaint to NCP advising them that he was not the driver and cannot be liable because the location is not relevant land. Inform NPC that he is not legally obliged to identify the driver and declines to do so.

    If he has evidence that he cannot have been the driver at the time, even better. He can sign off referring them to the answer given in Arkell v Pressdram (1971).
    Ha! Just looked up the Arkell v Pressdram 'case' 😂

    Thanks for replies!

    thanks for the info on where to find the complaints link. Have just drafted a response and will make sure it gets submitted (not by me, of course!) tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
  • Is the “response” noted on Page 1 still the one I’d need to respond with please?

    My “penalty charge” relates to Manchester Airport but the chap on that thread directed me here.

    Thanks

    I've edited the thread title to include Manchester, due to the flood of cases.

    The advice remains as in the first post. Never pay one of these.

    They are 100% beatable with ONE EMAIL.

    Good thinking. It will give Manchester victims more confidence that the thread covers them too. 👍
    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.

    You may want to include all these airports that APCOA or NCP cover the drop off zones:
    • Manchester
    • Stansted
    • East Midlands
    • Heathrow
    • Luton
    • Birmingham
    • Gatwick
    Then, of course, there are the VCS ones which, whilst are also covered by the same protections, but the vexatious little turds will doggedly persist in trying to sue the Keeper until the case is discontinued.
