伦敦市长萨迪克·汗因一辆未缴税的车辆被快速程序法庭裁定有罪，被罚款220英镑，另需支付85英镑诉讼费和35.84英镑未缴税款1。这辆蓝色日产Micra车于2024年1月24日被发现未缴税1，市政厅官员声称该车并不属于汗或伦敦交通公司1。
此案暴露了快速程序法庭系统的缺陷。英国驾驶员车辆执照机构（DVLA）寄往市长的信件被错误投递至一家戈登·拉姆齐餐厅，而非伦敦交通公司办公室1。快速程序法庭自2015年启用以来，允许单名裁判官私下进行审理1。该系统因处理案件仓促和存在冤案已遭广泛批评，2024年约59,000起逃票案被推翻，因被认定违法1，且曾存在儿童被错误定罪的情况1。
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been found guilty and fined by a fast-track court over an untaxed vehicle, despite City Hall officials asserting the car does not belong to him or Transport for London.1 Khan was ordered to pay £220 in fines, plus £85 in court costs and £35.84 in unpaid tax after the blue Nissan Micra, first registered in 2002, was discovered to lack current tax on January 24, 2024.1 The case highlights a significant administrative breakdown: a letter from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) intended for Transport for London was misdirected to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant instead of the authority's offices.1
The incident has reignited criticism of the fast-track court system, introduced in 2015, which permits a single magistrate to conduct private hearings without the defendant's presence.1 The controversial procedure has faced widespread scrutiny following roughly 59,000 cases overturned in 2024 on grounds of legal defects, and records show the system has previously resulted in children being wrongfully convicted.1
