Closed petition Review all fixed penalty notice fines issued under COVID regulations

Closed on 18 September 2021

I want the Government to review all fines that have been issued under Covid regulations. Fixed penalty notices should be reviewed in the same way that the CPS has reviewed prosecutions. We believe it is likely that some fines have been issued unlawfully.

There have been reports in the media and in the public interest that a review by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) found that 359 of 1,252 charges last year under laws brought in to aid public health measures were later withdrawn or quashed in court. Since many more charges will have been brought and thousands of fixed penalty notices issued across all forces with the majority being unlawfully or unfairly issued, I want the Government to conduct a review or all fines issued.
