Didn't the DfT issue some mega-documents of guidance and what not, the kind of thing I can't be bothered reading these days.

But the kind of thing that Sussex probably reads :D

This one is worth a read, and it's important in this instance as the judgement was laid down when we had the section 75 exemption.

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3638

If you want to know the requirements English courts laid down to ensure those using the section 75 exemption didn't try it on too much, then look in TDO's database for Pitt and Lewis.

We've had similar whereby a social club was using it's minibus to collect and return customers from hotels. We argued that even though they don't pay for the minibus the reward part is from paying entrance fees and buying drinks. The council didn't have a clue and eventually stopped them by saying they were causing a noise nuisance in dropping them off at the end of the night, and blocking vehicle access on some streets.

The hotels complained because they were taking custom from their bars, and the cabbies because they were'nt getting the fares. The minibus was for running club teams around and the driver had a PSV licence.
