I think the judge is struggling with the law. He has three months to give his reasoning one of which has already gone and the other is fast approaching.

It doesn't matter what he says because it won't make one iota of difference. I'm surprised those that brought this case don't reaise that. The whole exercise has been a waste of public money.

Regards

JD

I hope the judgment goes along these lines.


I think the case will go along these lines.

I was informed he got his information from TDO and decided in his wisdom that it is perefectly legal to use a hackney carriage licensed in one area and as a private hire vehicle in another area. However considering my reservations about this judge being someone who obviously hasn't got a clue about taxi licensing then I suspect he will try and say that Berwick must somehow restrict licenses to people living locally and who do not wish to ply their vehicle as private hire in another area.

Regards

JD
