Mrs Justice Lieven: Introduction 1. This is an appeal by way of case stated against the decision of the Cheltenham Magistrates to acquit the Respondent, Mr Denis Micura, of two charges. The appeal is only against the decision on one of the charges 2. The Appellant was represented by Mr Jarvis KC. Mr Micura appeared as a litigant in person. 3. On 25 June 2024, Mr Micura was sent a Single Justice Procedure notice charging him with two summary-only motoring offences, namely: (a) Charge 1 \u2013 Driving, stopping or causing to remain at rest a motor vehicle drawing a trailer in the offside lane of a motorway, contrary to regulation 12(2) of the Motorways Traffic (England and Wales) Regulations 1982, section 17(4) of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988; (b) Charge 2 \u2013 Failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle when required, contrary to section 172(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. 4. The Respondent pleaded not guilty to these offences and stood trial before the justices of the Cheltenham Magistrates\u2019 Court on 18 September 2024. He was acquitted of both charges at the conclusion of that trial. 5. The Appellant (the Director of Public Prosecutions) seeks to appeal by way of case stated against the Respondent\u2019s acquittal on the second charge. The question stated by the justices for the opinion of the High Court is: \u201cWas our decision to acquit the respondent wrong in law given the defendant\u2019s failureto provide details in section C of the notice served upon him?\u201d 6. The Appellant submits that the answer to that question is \u2018yes\u2019 and invites the Court to set aside the Respondent\u2019s acquittal and to remit his case to the magistrates\u2019 court with a direction that he should be convicted of Charge 2. Offence 7. Section 172(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 provides as follows: (2) Where the driver of a vehicle is alleged to be guilty of an offence to which this section applies \u2013 (a) The person keeping the vehicle shall give such information as to the identity of the driver as he may be required to give by or on behalf of a chief officer of police\u2026, and (b) Any other person shall if required as stated above give any information which it is in his power to give and may lead to identification of the driver. 8. Section 172(3) and (4) provides; (3) Subject to the following provisions, a person who fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (2) above shall be guilty of an offence. (4) A person shall not be guilty of an offence by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above if he shows that he did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained who the driver of the vehicle was. Facts 9. At around 2 pm on 17 January 2024, a person drove a Renault Master van on the offside lane of the M5 motorway while pulling a trailer. 10. That was an offence contrary to regulation 12(2) of the Motorways Traffic (England and Wales) Regulations 1982, section 17(4) of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. 11. According to records held by DVLA, the registered keeper of that vehicle was a company called Million Rides, with a registered address at 11 Granville Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicester, LE13 0SN. 12. On 18 January 2024, a Notice of Intended Prosecution was sent to the company at that address along with a response form requiring the company to provide the information set out in section 172(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988. 13. There was no response to that Notice, and so the police sent a further Notice to the company at the same address on 16 February 2024. Again, there was no response. 14. The police investigated and found that the only person who had been insured to drive that motor vehicle on 17 January 2024 was the Respondent, whose home address was the same as the registered address of the company. 15. The Respondent had previously been a registered director of the company, but by the date of the offence on 17 January 2024 he was no longer a director. 16. The police also discovered that the Respondent had become the registered keeper of the motor vehicle on 28 February 2024 in place of the company. 17. By that date (28 February 2024), the company had already been sent two Notices and two response forms at its registered address, which was also the Respondent\u2019s home address. 18. On 8 March 2024, the police sent a further Notice and response form to the Respondent at his home address in his capacity as the keeper of the vehicle at that time. 19. The Respondent did not respond to those documents. A reminder notice was sent to him at his home address on 8 April 2024. 20. On 17 April 2024, the police received the response form from the Respondent that he had been sent on 8 March 2024. The response form was dated 8 April 2024. The precise content of the form and the responses are important, and I set them out below. On the first page of the letter from the police it states: \u201cBY LAW UNDER SECTION 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUPPLY THE INFORMATION ABOVE WITHIN 28 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE. THE PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO SUPPLY THIS INFORMATION IS A FINE OF UP TO \u00a31000 AND 6 PENALTY POINTS\u201d [capitals in original] 21. In Section A, Question 1 reads \u2013 \u201cWere you the driver at the time of the alleged offence?\u201d, to which the Respondent had ticked the box \u2018No\u2019. The form then required him to complete Sections B and C. 22. Section B required the Respondent to tick the relevant box and fill in Section C. It is entirely clear from the form that Section C must be filled in. 23. In Section B, the first box is marked: \u201cI was not the driver at the time of the alleged offence. Details of the driver are provided below. (Now complete Section C with the new driver details)\u201d 24. The Respondent did not tick that box. 25. The third box in Section C is marked \u201cAt the time of the alleged offence I was not the owner \/ keeper. I had sold \/ purchased \/ disposed \/ returned the vehicle before \/ after the alleged offence. (Now complete Section C with details of the new keeper \/ previous keeper).\u201d 26. Beneath those words, next to the words \u201cDate of Sale \/ Purchase\u201d, the Respondent wrote \u201c28 02 2024\u201d. He then signed Section B and dated it 8 April 2024. I note that there is no requirement on the form to delete the parts of the sentence above that do not apply. There is therefore some potential for confusion by the police as to exactly what is being stated. 27. The Respondent left Section C blank. 28. On 17 April 2024, the police sent a further Notice and response form to the Respondent at his home address. That letter read as follows: \u201cI write in reference to your responses to the above numbered notice where you have stated that you sold this vehicle on 28.02.24. The offence date is prior to this sale, therefore, you are required to give driver details on the enclosed form. I enclose a copy of the photographic evidence to assist.\u201d 29. It appears that the police were under the mistaken impression that the Respondent had stated in his response that he had sold the vehicle on 28 February 2024, and thus that he had been the keeper of the vehicle on 17 January 2024 and in a position to identify the driver on that date. 30. However, the Respondent actually meant that he had purchased the vehicle on 28 February 2024 and hence that he had not been the keeper of the vehicle on 17 January 2024. This was despite the fact that he had been the only person insured to drive the vehicle on that date. 31. On 26 April 2024, the Respondent sent to the police another version of the response form he had completed on 8 April 2024. The information in that form was the same as the information in the form dated 8 April 2024, only this time the form bore the date 26 April 2024. The police received that reply on 29 April 2024. 32. On 22 May 2024, the police sent a further Notice and response form to the Respondent, again asking him to identify the driver from 17 January 2024. The Respondent did not reply to that letter. Trial 33. At the trial, the justices found that the Respondent had not complied with the statutory requirement to identify the driver of the vehicle on 17 January 2024. 34. The Respondent gave evidence at the trial. He told the court he is Lithuanian but that he has no difficulties understanding or reading English. I note that when the Respondent appeared before me it was clear that his English was excellent, and he fully understood both what was said and the nature of the proceedings. 35. He explained to the Magistrates that as of 17 January 2024, his mother-in-law was a director of the company. She lived in Leicester, and she was the keeper of the motor vehicle. 36. When he received the Notice and response form in the name of the company, the Respondent said that he sent them to his mother-in-law for her to complete. I note that the covering letter from the police states; \u201cONLY THE ADDRESSEE MUST COMPLETE THE DETAILS OVERLEAF. DO NOT PASS THIS FORM TO ANOTHER PERSON. As the recipient of this form you must fully complete section A of the form overleaf and section B and C if required.\u201d 37. The Respondent said he forgot to reply to the first Notice and response form that was addressed to him at his home address. He said he did reply to the reminder letter. 38. The Respondent\u2019s account was that he had spoken to his mother-in-law and asked her who the driver of the motor vehicle had been on 17 January 2024. She told him that she did not know. 39. The Respondent said that he had not been the driver of the motor vehicle on 17 January 2024 and that the person in the photograph he had been sent by the police was not him. 40. The Respondent said he did not know who had been driving the motor vehicle on 17 January 2024 and he did not believe that his mother-in-law could recall either. 41. He said that he did not include his mother-in-law\u2019s details on the response form because he did not believe that she had been driving the motor vehicle on 17 January 2024 and, in any event, he believed the police must have known that she had been the keeper of the vehicle at that time. 42. The justices found the Respondent not guilty on Charge 1 on the basis that he denied being the driver of the motor vehicle on 17 January 2024 and the photographic evidence was inclusive as to the identity of the driver. 43. The justices also found the Respondent not guilty on Charge 2. At paragraph 6(d) of the stated Case, when dealing with the law, they referred to; \u201cthe defence under s.172(4), where a person shall not be guilty of an offence by virtue of (a) of subsection (2) above if he shows that he did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained who the driver was.\u201d 44. Their reasons for the acquittal, as set out in the stated Case, included; \u201c7(c)\u2026he was not responsible for the vehicle at the time of the offence, and covered due diligence by trying to ID the vehicle and trying try (sic) to get his mother-in-law to respond and provide the information, however the mother-in-law did not provide this to the respondent. 7(d) The defendant could not therefore have completed Part C of the form\u201d. Submissions 45. Mr Jarvis submits that as at the date of the alleged offence, 17 January 2024, the registered keeper of the vehicle was the company Million Miles. The Justices found as a fact that the actual keeper was the Respondent\u2019s mother in law. It follows that the Respondent was not the keeper at the relevant date. 46. The Respondent denied being the driver of the vehicle and denied being able to identify the driver. The Justices accepted this as a fact. 47. Therefore the obligation upon the Respondent arose under s.172(2)(b) RTA 1988, \u201cWhere the driver of a vehicle is alleged to be guilty of an offence to which this section applies\u2026.(b) any other person shall if required as stated above give any information which it is in his power to give and may lead to identification of the driver\u201d. 48. On the Notice of Intended Prosecution, it was made completely clear that if the recipient of the Notice, here the Notice of 8 March 2024, denied being the driver then they had to complete Sections B and C of the Notice. The box that the Respondent ticked in Section B expressly states, \u201cNow complete Section C with details of the new keeper\/previous keeper\u201d(the bold type is in the Notice itself). Therefore, the form is clear that if, as was the case here, the recipient of the Notice purchased the vehicle after the alleged offence, they must provide the details of the previous keeper \u2013 here the mother in law. The Respondent failed to do that. 49. Even assuming the Respondent believed that his mother in law was not the driver and did not know who the driver was, that is irrelevant. The legal obligation was to name the previous keeper. If that had been done the police would then have been able to serve a fresh Notice on that person. 50. The Respondent failed to comply with the requirements of s.172(2)(b) and was thus guilty of an offence under s.172(3). The defence in s.172(4) is not available to him because that only applies to an offence by virtue of s.172(2)(a), i.e. where the person \u201ckeeping the vehicle\u201d fails to give information as to the identity of the driver. In this case the Respondent was not the person keeping the vehicle at the time of the offence, and therefore this falls within subsection (b), not (a), of s.172(2) and the s.172(4) defence does not arise. 51. Mr Jarvis submits that the reference in s.172(2)(a) to the \u201cperson keeping the vehicle\u201d must be to the time of the alleged offence, rather than a subsequent keeper who received the Notice. It would make no sense for a subsequent keeper, who might well have no knowledge of the driver but would necessarily know the identity of the previous keeper, to be able to avail themselves of the s.172(4) defence if they failed to identify the previous keeper. 52. This analysis is supported by DPP v Grant [2001] EWHC Admin 1114 at [19]-[21] where the Court said; \u201c19. Third, the power to provide information is not something which can be regarded as other than an ingredient of the offence. If the phrase \u201cinformation which it is in his power to give\u201d does not require some proof on the part of the prosecution, those words might as well not be in the statute. They are there for a purpose. But that purpose is satisfied in the case of a person who produces no return at all or produces a blank one in this way: everyone has the power without further or specific proof to provide the minimal information \u201cI do not know who the driver was; I know nothing of this vehicle\u201d. That is information which satisfies the statutory requirement. It is information which it is in that person's power to give, and which may lead to the identification of the driver. That may happen in a number of ways. It may lead to the identification of the driver by elimination; it may lead to the identification of the driver through the process of showing that there has been an error through a random selection; it may mean that the police refocus their inquiries and retrace their steps over the information which has been given. In that way, an answer which says \u201cI know nothing of the car and I have no connection with it\u201d is both information which it is within the power of any person to give as a minimum and information which may lead to the identification of the driver. 20. If the answer comes back, pursuant to the requirement, in the way which I have suggested might be regarded as the minimum information, it would then be incumbent on the prosecution, if they wished to make out an offence under section 172(3), to demonstrate that the defendant had the power to give more information than had been given; or it would be incumbent on the prosecution to prove that that asserted absence of knowledge was untrue. In that way, again, the provisions of section 172(2)(b) are given effect. It is an ingredient of the offence that there be information which it is in the power of the defendant to give, and it would be incumbent on the prosecution to prove it. But they do so in a case where the form is returned blank or returned not at all by simply pointing to the fact that every person has the power to give that minimum of information to which I have referred. 21. I should just add that it is important in construing this provision to recognise that the specific defence in section 172(4) does not apply to \u201cany other person\u201d for the purposes of section 172(2)(b). There is a reason for that. It is because \u201cany other person\u201d does indeed have the power to provide the minimum information to which I have referred. Accordingly, there is no need for that specific defence to be provided as a general defence for all those who are the recipients of a notice for the purposes of section 172(2)(b). The keeper however is required under section 172(2)(a) to provide information which the police may specify; accordingly, a defence is necessary to cover his inability to provide it. But in section 172(2)(b) no such defence is provided because every other person is able to provide a minimum of information, even if negative in form. That is the reason, in my judgment, for the distinction in terms of defence between the two provisions.\u201d 53. Therefore, the Respondent, not being the keeper at the relevant time, could not be expected to identify the driver, but would be expected to hold other \u201cinformation\u201d which \u201cmay lead to identification of the driver\u201d. 54. Mr Micura was a litigant in person. He produced at the hearing short written submissions which he freely accepted had been in part written by Chat GPT. Those submissions referred to three cases. It transpired after some investigation by the Court and Mr Jarvis that one of those cases was cited as being in the Court of Appeal but was actually a decision of Moses J in the High Court. The second had the wrong reference but did appear to be a genuine case. The third did not appear to exist. This is an example of the extreme caution that needs to be exercised when receiving submissions from a litigant in person, which purport to refer to previous authorities. I should make it clear that I have no reason to believe that the Respondent knew the cases were either \u201cfake\u201d or with the wrong references, he had simply relied on Chat GPT. 55. Mr Micura submits that he had responded truthfully to the Justices that he did not know who the driver was and had passed the Notices on to his mother in law. He had acted with due diligence, as the Justices had found. 56. He said that the police had issued their Notices on the false assumption that he was the keeper of the vehicle at the time of the offence. Therefore, he was not correctly identified under s.172(2)(a) or (b). 57. He said that he had done everything that he reasonably could have done to give the police the information required. The Magistrates findings were open to them and there was no error of law in their conclusions. 58. I note that some of the Respondent\u2019s submissions were simply wrong, presumably because Chat GPT had not merely made up the cases but mis-stated what the genuine cases said. Conclusions 59. In my view the Magistrates erred in law in two respects. Firstly, they applied the defence under s.172(4) even though that only applies where the Respondent was \u201cthe person keeping the vehicle\u201d at the time of the offence. Secondly, they appear to have considered that the only obligation on the Respondent was to name the driver, and once they had accepted that he could not do that, he was not guilty of the offence. 60. \u201cThe person keeping the vehicle\u201d in s.172(2)(a) is not defined, nor is the \u201ckeeper\u201d in the Notice of Intended Prosecution. Section 172(10) defines the \u201cregistered keeper\u201d as the person registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994, in practice the person named on the DVLA form V5C. However, that person (whether real or legal) might in practice not have day-to-day knowledge of the vehicle. As Mr Jarvis submitted, the registered keeper could go away and leave the vehicle with a third party for a prolonged period. Section 172(2)(a) must deliberately be referring to the actual keeper rather than merely the registered keeper, or it would use the terminology later in the same section of \u201cregistered keeper\u201d. 61. The purpose of the statutory provision appears to be that the person who has day-to-day care and control over the vehicle might be reasonably expected to know the identity of the driver and therefore is the person referred to in s.172(2)(a). 62. I accept Mr Jarvis\u2019s submission that the reference to the person keeping the vehicle in s.172(2)(a) must be to the person keeping the vehicle at the date of the offence. Firstly, a subsequent keeper on whom a Notice was served could not generally be expected to know who the driver was before they became the keeper. So it is a more natural and purposive interpretation of the words that it be the keeper at the time of the offence. Secondly, the defence in s.172(4) and its restriction to s.172(2)(a) cases makes little sense if a subsequent keeper can be availed of it, even when they know the identity of the previous keeper, but do not know the identity of the driver. 63. Therefore, in my view s.172(2)(a) applies to the person who was the keeper at the time of the offence and therefore does not apply to the Respondent in the present case. The consequence of that is that the Justices were wrong to allow the Respondent to rely on the s.172(4) defence, because that did not apply to s.172(2)(b) cases. 64. In Mohindra v DPP [2004] EWHC 490 Moses J was dealing with an argument that there were two separate offences under s.172(2), he said at [14] \u201cI conclude that section 172(3) creates only one offence and the information need do no more than allege an offence under section 172(3). Where a defendant asserts, in response to the information, that he is not the keeper of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence, the prosecution will be required to prove that the information which he has failed to give was information which was in his power to give and which may lead to identification of the driver. Where the defendant asserts that he was the keeper, the prosecution need do no more than prove the failure to respond, leaving the defendant, if he wishes, to prove the defence under section 172(4). Where the defendant is silent the prosecution need do no more than prove the absence of any response. Whether the failure to comply with the requirement is a breach of an obligation under section 172(2)(a) or (2)(b) is not an issue unless and until the addressee asserts that he is not the keeper or, as a keeper, seeks to rely on the defence under (4). The precise nature of the obligation which it is alleged has been breached is simply not material in the case of one who remains silent.\u201d 65. In relation to the registered keeper, he said at [11]; \u201cThe obvious purpose of the legislation is to discover information about an alleged offending driver. It is plain that until an addressee responds to the requirement to give information, the enquirer cannot know whether the addressee is the keeper or not. The most that may be discovered is the identity of the registered keeper. Section 172 draws a distinction between one who keeps the vehicle and one who is merely the registered keeper (see section 172(10)). One who keeps the vehicle is presumed to know the information required unless he proves otherwise (section 172(4)). One who is merely a registered keeper is not presumed to have such information, and the prosecution must prove that the information is in his power to give (see as to the different burdens of proof Blackstone 2004 C2.15).\u201d 66. Although not directly on the same point, it appears to me that these passages support the analysis above. Moses J proceeds on the assumption in [14] that the keeper is the person who keeps the vehicle at the date of the offence. In [11] the distinction between the registered keeper and the actual keeper suggests that the test is one of who has care and control of the vehicle. 67. The Justices appear to have entirely focused on whether the Respondent could identify the driver of the vehicle. However, it is apparent from the Notice that the obligation on the Respondent was to identify the previous keeper. This is made very clear from the words in Section B and the requirement to complete Section C as well as Section B. The Respondent undoubtedly knew the name of the previous keeper but failed to complete that part of the form. 68. I do not accept the Respondent\u2019s argument that the police knew who the registered keeper was, and they should have sought information from his mother in law as one of the directors of the company. The obligation on the Respondent was to reply correctly to the information required by the Notice. Whether or not the police had other routes of investigation is irrelevant to the offence. Similarly, the fact that the police had assumed from his response to the form that he had sold the vehicle, rather than purchased the vehicle, does not change the information that was required. 69. I do not consider that the form itself is ambiguous and would have required the Respondent to speculate as to what information was required. Box B, as set out above, is quite clear that if the recipient is the present keeper but was not the keeper at the time of the alleged offence, the previous keeper must be identified in Section C. There is express reference to \u201cdetails of\u2026previous keeper\u201d. 70. Therefore, I find that the Appellant is correct that the Magistrates erred in law in finding the Respondent not guilty of charge 2. On the facts as found the Respondent must have been so guilty and I therefore set aside the acquittal and remit the case with a direction that the Magistrates find the Respondent guilty of charge 2. 2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
