Just out of Hypothetical curiosity, Say that due to 6 inches of lying snow and the roads in and out of an operators Town being untreated and virtually unpassable (unless you own a 4x4 Vehicle) with more snow falling and even more forecast....you have to make a decision to cancel the few pre booked runs covering the next 24 hours, you do so with your customer safety and your own safety in mind.

None of these runs paid for in advance. What rights would a customer who lived in a snowbound and difficult to reach village have to compensation from an PH or Taxi Operator having to cancel their run due to bad weather and dangerous road conditions. matters made worse if they had a train or plane to catch or a short break booked.

Is an Operator Liable or it deemed to be beyond the operators control.


It hasnt Happened, but it made me sit up and think of what could happen in this claim driven society of ours.
