Since it's the latter company who is the 'commercial operator' of the major meeting where the historic configuration is applicable they might be 'persuaded' or pressured into stumping up the fee, which for 2008 is £4,750.
I think that's the best avenue to apply pressure but I suspect all the parties mentioned may get very 'slopey shouldered' and 'pass the parcel'  |
Well John -Brave of you!
