Perhaps Part 2 Article 1 Protection of property, which states, "Every natural or legal personis entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions. No one shall be deprived of his possessions except in the public interest and subject to the conditions provided for by law and by the general principles of international law. The preceding provisions shall not, however,in any way impair the right of a State to enforce such laws as it deems necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest or to secure the payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties."
I am only suggesting that this section of the Act may be relevant. Someone else may know or think differently. Personally, I have no problems with dress code. Our company supplies smart pale blue shirts, navy blue jumpers and navy jackets, all with company logos. We are also expected to wear tie, decent dark trousers and shoes. This professional attitude, together with the pristine condition of our vehicles, (both PH and HC) means job satisfaction, high customer awareness and praise and a consistent quality service whether doing a £2 or a £200 job.

Bearing in mind of course, Ties can be dangerous they can be used to choke

I think that this was the article used in the Royal Parks case, which is where my opinion expressed earlier came from.

For those who don't know the case, a London PH firm said that a byelaw banning them from the Royal Parks was discriminatory and breached the Human Rights Act because black cabs were allowed in.

I think the judge said that if a public authority was carrying out regulatory functions then the the provisions of the Act were irrelevant as long as the relevant rules were reasonable. I don't know if anyone has tried challenging dress codes, but I'm assuming that they too would be deemed reasonable.

I think the point is that if these rights were relevant to regulation then the LAs wouldn't be able to do anything basically.

It would certainly be the end of numerical restrictions!

there is a whole difference between security issues and human rights legislation.

no matter what could the local council insist on the dress of its own employees?

if so why do social workers look so bloody scruffy?


you are wrong binnie

In that case I'd better have an extra 4 for tomorrow night Mick !!! You never know in Gatesheed

that why thay have clip on ties. punter grabs it and it just pulls away in their hand.

A bit like Yorkie's wig.

Did the bye-law specifically ban Private Hire (presumably unlicensed) or specifically allow Hackney Carriages ? There is a world of difference when it comes to interpretation of legislation.

I think they allowed the taxis and didn't mention PH, presumably as they didn't exist as a legal concept.

Knowing Scotland it will be 2nd hand shell suites from the PDSA shop, cabbies like to wear them up there.

Here! Here!

Here! Here! (or should that be Hear ! Hear!)
