In this special 15-minute highlight, we zoom in on a pressing topic affecting international transport operators: clandestine entrants and the increasing fines being imposed. Taken from our full episode on employment law and driver-operator relationships, this segment features legal expert Libby Pritchard breaking down the latest developments following the Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration’s recent report.
Hear about:
- Why detections have dropped but legal appeals have surged
- The sharp rise in fines – and why operators with good systems are still getting penalised
- Discretion (or lack thereof) in how fines are issued
- What’s changing – and where operators are starting to see success in challenging fines
- Practical advice for responding to enforcement letters and protecting your business
Whether you're already grappling with these issues or just want to stay ahead of the curve, this bite-sized legal briefing offers key insights and actionable advice.
If you’d like to discuss any aspect of clandestine entrant issues — including penalties, appeals, compliance systems, or applying for the Civil Penalty Accreditation Scheme , please contact our Commercial Litigation team.
