10. Reduced number of enforceable activities
A simpler, more coherent and modern legislative framework would make the role of the enforcement officer more straightforward, and perhaps less resource intensive. This ties in with the projected fall in the number of cases reaching court.
This seems to be somewhat at odds with the rest of the stuff the LC has written.
They appear to believe that licensing officers spend their time chasing vehicles that are committing cross border hiring offences, between that and vehicles illegally plying.
Of course if they dont send enforcement officers out, it will naturally lead to a "fall in the number of cases reaching court".
If they make a previous illegal activity legal, it will create no offence - of course we could do this with all manner of laws - we'd get those prisons empty in no time - thus saving the tax payer great expense.
What the LC dont seem to think of - presumably because they havent been told - is that deregulated areas still have illegal plying - they still have completely unlicensed vehicles and touts.
