DVLA Out of Court Settlement and ILR on Set P

[Nicanne]

Hi all,
Two questions:
1. My husband will be applying for ILR after 5 years with refugee status. However, a couple of days ago he received a letter from DVLA because we SORN'd an old car but as we live in terrace houses, we parked it at the back of the alley way and the council came and clamped it after 2 months there. It was my fault as I wasn't aware that it had to be private land. We immediately taxed it but DVLA have issued an "out of court settlement" which we've paid. Does this still need to be declared as a penalty/fine on the application? If so, is it likely to be grounds for refusal?

2. He was accused falsely of sexual assault 4 years ago by a malicious person. They arrested him and interviewed him. He was given unconditional bail and after a few months when he returned to the station, they said the matter was closed. We did a SAR and all the papers said is the alleged incident, his interview transcript and "file closed".
We're waiting for the DBS to come back. We expect it to say NFA if it appears at all.
He wasn't convicted (no court), warned, cautioned, etc. Just arrested and given bail. Going by the wording of the application, we shouldn't have to declare a charge, right? Also, it's been 48 months at the time of applying for ILR. Does this come under the 24 month clearance rule meaning it's "spent" or non-declareable?

I've tried to find similar questions before posting this, so I hope I haven't missed the answers to these already. Thanks in advance.

They should not affect the ILR as there was no conviction
