This South-East-based construction company was facing a County Court appeal in relation to a disputed illegal working civil penalty. The firm was initially served with a referral notice for 9 suspected illegal workers, totalling a fine of £180,000.

Our investigation established that the Home Office had withheld relevant information preventing the construction company from presenting their case. Once the full facts of the case had been established we submitted a report to the Home Office whereupon the case was justly cancelled.

Without our expert investigation the company would have faced a costly and unnecessary County Court appeal.
