Good morning.
As the 'registered keeper' of a vehicle, my mother-in-law received a PCN from Excel very recently, demanding the usual £100/£60 payment for exceeding the maximum time permitted. She was not the driver at the time of the alleged contravention.
It is acknowledged, however, that the permitted time was exceeded but this was due to the driver having an emergency medical situation, thus rendering him incapable of driving until his blood sugars returned to normal. This was the sole reason for the delay in exiting the car park and thus the sole reason for the issue of the invoice by Excel.
However, assuming that Excel won't give two hoots about this genuine medical reason (and will reject any so-called appeal on those grounds), here's the question:
As the car is registered to my mother-in-law but owned and operated by my (limited) company, would I/my company be within my/its rights (and would it be enforceable?) to demand an administrative charge (to Excel) of, say, £60, for the divulging of driver (N.B. driver, not registered keeper) details? In so doing, we would not be refusing to provide driver details. If so, I would confirm to them that we have details of the driver on record but also confirm that it was not the car's registered keeper who was driving at the time of the alleged contravention.
Thoughts, anyone?
Many thanks, in anticipation...
