Thanks for the above.

So, I’ll be sending this:

“I am the registered keeper. APCOA cannot hold a registered keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land that is under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, APCOA will be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because Manchester Airport is not 'relevant land'.

If Manchester Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not pleaded, it is also not legally possible because APCOA is not the Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never attempts to be a penalty. It is created for APCOA's own profit (as opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse) and APCOA has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.

The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. APCOA have no hope at POPLA.”

And fingers crossed everything will be cancelled?

Can I adjust this letter if I am not the registered keeper?  My dad is & was driving the car but I want to appeal on his behalf.  Or is it easier to send the wording to him so he can appeal?  Thank you in advance 

just log the appeal in the name of the registered keeper and select registered keeper

The keeper MUST be the appellant.

Thanks for the guidance here. In the case where the letter has been sent to my leasing company, I think they are the registered keeper. Is that right and will the appeal letter work in this instance?

You must get the lease company to transfer liability to you as the hirer. Nothing else will sort this for you. Come back when the transfer has taken place.
