They cannot simply embed a POPLA code within a notice. They are required to include a load of bumf explaining how POPLA works and other rubbish.
Although it doesn't particularly affect the approach, for clairty, most of said bumf would seem to have been included:

Regarding trying "...to con a Court that the driver must have been the Hirer." is a non-starter for them. Have a read of there persuasive appellate case of VCS Limited v Ian Mark Edward (2023) [H0KF6C9C] where the judge says in his conclusion:

"...it is consistent with the appropriate probability analysis whereby simply because somebody is a registered keeper, it does not mean on balance of probability they were driving on this occasion, because one simply cannot tell."

Precisely.

Am pleased to update that ECP have cancelled the PCN.  A pretty short letter to say the appeal has been accepted and the ticket cancelled. 

Many thanks for the help I received with this.  Another win for the consumer…

PS here’s a funny one.  I checked out the case you mentioned where the judge rejected outright the idea that “on the balance of probabilities, X must have been the driver”.  Would you believe the judge in question was at school with me - checked his photo etc and it’s for sure the same guy.  Quite a coincidence.
