Unless the operator of your circuit has a office in the other district where the car is licensed and is subcontracting work to that other district under the deregulation act in all probability that vehicle and driver is breaking the law.
Would assist to give an opinion in cases as this, if the licensing districts were named.

We've got one plated in Southampton round here. We are 200 miles away from Southampton.

Of course it matters. As you well know a hack can legally work on a PH circuit anywhere but a PH can only work for a company in another area if there is an operators license in the area the car comes from.

I thought now that a PH (area a) could take jobs off a base in another area if the jobs went through a base, or more likely, if a car owner with a PH ops licence in area A got work off a base in area B, with all details duly recorded

No Wannabeahack, you got the Dereg Act all wrong.

Now an Operator an area A can subcontract to an Operator in area B. The Operator in area B then sends a PH also plated by LA in area B which is driven by a Driver also licensed in area B.

Very few councils have 'go back to base when free' policies for PH.

TBH if a council was challenged on that policy in court, they would lose.
