I have a London Cab Drivers 2009 diary. In the points of law section the following is stated; Where a service has been provided and a debt incurred a legal tender requires that the exact sum of the debt be tendered without necessitating any change. A creditor is not obliged to give change when (legal tender) notes are offered to a greater value than the amount of debt. The legislative instrument which defines legal tender is the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1954, although the definition given above is actually taken from a banking directory. Is my float a thing of the past? CC |

The instrument referred to is a UK act of parliament. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/ ... 40012_en_1 |

If there is no requirement to give change, then it doesn't have to be given

But there was a cab driver prosecuted for it down south.......and as I stated originally it was in a cab drivers diary under points of law. I'm as confused as toots!

Then I thought I've missed something cos even I'm not THAT blonde as not to know what legal tender is

I'm as confused as toots! CC What was the actual charge? and was he found guilty? Perhaps he broke some bye-law or condition of his licence? |

A driver refused a fare on a cab rank because the passenger wanted to pay with a £5 note and the driver said he had no change! It was 1995.....I suppose £5 was a lot of money in those days
It cost the driver £150 in magistrates.....and £250 in crown court! regards CC |

Bank notes are not proper money. They are promisary notes. You can exchange them for money at the bank of England. It says so on every one of them. |
