https://archive.is/G6xYo Ulez blow for Sadiq Khan as European drivers challenge millions of pounds in fines, The Telegraph, 26th December 2023
The Telegraph understands the grounds the company has put forward for the challenge include claims that the fines were unlawfully denominated into euros, which goes against UK legislation indicating that all fines should be given in pounds.
It also claims the EPC is using an excessively high exchange rate when converting these fines. It has said that the maximum penalty for Lez should be £3,000 but is being issued at €3,600 (£3,200) when Dutch drivers are receiving fines.
Another key claim will centre on the fact that, in many cases, multiple fines were sent at the same time. The case will argue that if fines were sent as and when they happened, drivers and companies may have been able to change their behaviour to avoid further sanctions.
