I doubt the CAA would knowingly lie in a court case.
I had a traffic warden lie to a court.

The conversation at the roadside went:

Her: "what's your date of birth?"

Me: "why do you need to know?"

Her: quotes some statute which gives her authority to demand my date of birth

Me: gives date of birth

In her statement to court this somehow translated to "refused to give date of birth". I just couldn't get my head around why she thought it worthwhile to knowingly lie like that.
