Civil Penalties For Clandestine Entrants – More Penalties Cancelled on Appeal.

Our client, a major Belgian hauler, was hit with civil penalties following the discovery of a clandestine entrant in one of their trucks with a liability of up to £20,000 under the new rules.

We appealed against those penalties, and, after a contested court hearing the penalty imposed on our client was cancelled, the Judge finding that the Owner had done all that the new rules required of him.
