Beating APCOA in 2026: The 'Byelaw' Defense
APCOA manages parking for major UK airports and railway stations. These sites are often governed by Byelaws, which changes the legal game entirely.
1. Non-Relevant Land (POFA 2012)
Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA), if land is subject to Byelaws, it is 'Non-Relevant Land.'
- The Defense: APCOA cannot legally hold the Registered Keeper liable if they do not know who the driver was. Citing the correct Byelaw section is a 90% win rate.
2. Station Drop-Off 'Ghost' Visits
APCOA's ANPR at railway stations often fails to distinguish between 'parking' and 'dropping off.'
- Evidence: Dashcam footage or GPS logs showing the vehicle never stopped.
