Clandestine Entry penalty reduced by £78,000 following Appeal to County Court
Murray Oliver was asked to deal with a case where following the discovery of 10 clandestine entrants in a trailer at Dunkirk UK Border Force imposed £120,000 civil penalty on the Operator and its driver. The operator’s first attempt at lodging a notice of objection failed to secure any reduction in the penalty so we were asked to lodge an appeal at the County Court which concluded with a reduction by over £78000 to the penalties imposed.
