If you’ve done it before, then why not
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 Stansted Airport is not 'relevant land'.
If Stansted 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, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

If you are the registered keeper, then they have already obtained your details from the DVLA.
Also APCOA don’t “do” court, in recent experience here.

Hello
I have received a Stansted ticket for non payment of the parking. I genuinely completely forgot to pay and once I realised it was too late. Can you help with the appeal as I've previously done this before?
Also when I go on the appeal it asks for either Vehicle's Driver / Keeper / Hirer and asks for personal information. What would I put in this case?
Thanks
