case law - DVLA

I am looking for some case law, DVLA is bringing a case for no SORN.  This is down to their own maladministration
DVLA is the prosecuting authority in this case
So looking for some case law for D to assist them in their defence,
anything that could be relevant please let me know :)

    If the case is the result of something the DVLA did or didn't do, the CRA 2015 would apply, and possibly something about misconduct in a public office.
    What about lack of fair notice of processing under DPA rules/regs?
    Did the defendant complain beforehand, and was ADR offered?

    I'd be astonished if any DVLA case had ever made it to the higher courts, therefore case law is unlikely to exist.
