I've banged on before about the Single Justice Procedure and it's capacity to deliver injustice.
I presume the issue here, unless it's fat finger trouble, is that the 'offender' is high earner.

Seems to be something wrong there.
'If the vehicle is seen on the road and is therefore "being used" without tax / SORN
An Out of Court Settlement letter is issued for a Fixed Penalty of £30, plus 150% of the outstanding tax. In the absence of payment, a Single Justice Procedure Notice is issued which can result in a fine of £1,000 or 5 times the road fund licence figure.'
By my calcs that makes the highest amount possible (£2745 + £410) *5 which is a long way short of £40,000
