Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hello,

I appealed the PCN using the following:

Heathrow Parking PCN
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 Heathrow Airport is not 'relevant land'.

If Heathrow 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.

I have now received a second email asking for driver details. Looks like the next email will be from Debt Recovery if I don't reply.

Advice on how to proceed from here will be appreciated. My situation is similar to that posted by CaptainG - I suspect I might be getting a debt recovery letter if I do not respond within 14 days.<br />

Thanks for your reply Dave,

Reading this forum, would the correct thing be to ignore any future email/letter from Debt Recovery Plus saying unless I pay up they will commence legal action?

Thank you for the reassurance
