People will usually pay the penalty fare (or buy a new ticket), if they
aren't given a waiver. So you'd be looking for someone who failed to pay.
The worst you usually get in the press is those people moaning about
having to pay.
Which only means people believe that have to pay or that it is not enough
for the bother of claiming.
Only a court case proves the law.
I live in Wiltshire where the county council has has to repay over a million
pounds for speeding fines on the A303 because 1 of thousands
actually challenged in court and had a verdict that the council did not have
the authority to impose the fines. The contractors put the speed cameras in
place
where road works were planned and put the new speed restriction signs up a
month later.
That was several years ago, I understand Swindon are having to repay people
because speed cameras were installed without being calibrated.
Just because a fine is levied and lots of people pay it does not in itself
prove the liability.
