I remember a case a few years ago where the CAA successfully prosecuted an ATPL for negligently endangering the safety of an aircraft when he touched down on the grass about 100yds prior to a tarmac runway. The landing occured in poor viz although the pilot could see and was flying the PAPI's. If landing before a displaced threshold puts you in potential conflict with an obstacle or road etc the same argument could be raised.
