Oh yes - the rules apply. If they break the rules they should not be able to 'cost recover'. After all those are the rules for the cost recovery scheme.

Aha, I consider myself enlightened :)

In terms of a legal defence against an offence (away from ‘cost recovery’), is there anything an operator/SCP must do to ensure conviction, or do they have free reign leaving the alleged offender well stuffed?

Which probably brings me back to your original point: how the fudge did Mr Jennings get off?


Is there a way to ‘blackmail’ an unrelenting SCP such that they would face losing their recovered costs from an improperly setup site? …………

Makes me wonder if there isn’t some skulduggery going on. You don’t think the SCP allowed the traffic sign to be used as a cover up. If they’d proved the LTI20-20 to be faulty, imagine the consequences.
