with the one going taxi emmissions court case appeal in York by Tom Browne , we are being told that any vehicle who do not come up to the euro3 standards will be issued with a tempory licence

thats so they can snatch it back as soon as the court appeal is finished if the council win

so the question is, is there such a thing as a tempory taxi licence, or are they treading on egg shells, anyone know???????????

Our council issue a temporary licence if you have a smash or breakdown and want to use another car for a odd week or so. The plate has a T before the number on the plate. Its a bit pointless really because you still have to pay the full price for the council test.

That's the important part, they can only issue a license, for a year, if the vehicle is deemed 'fit and proper'. That vehicle doesn't suddenly become not 'fit and proper' just because a court says another vehicle isn't.

Now the council may decide not to re-issue a license at the end of the year, but they can't do nothing until then.

Unless of course the local trade bend over and take it. :sad:

Its a maximum of a year aint it?

So presumably a lesser period is acceptable?

I will be amazed if the so-called temproy license issued by York says 'licensed until the outcome of the court case'. And will not be amazed if it's for a year.

If they say it is for a year, then the council will only be able to not issue another license when the year is up. i.e. they can't issue a license for a year and change their minds half way through.

Doesn't any licence of any persuasion require an expiry date to be valid?

What's the expiry date on the York "temporary" licence?

Can anyone give any information on the Case by Tom Browne (presumed ongoing) or the case in Durham that was won apparently.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been reading this and wandering why people are so concerned... in Sefton if you licence a vehicle for 12 months and use it for six weeks, you can surrender your licence and will receive a rebate for 10 months.... is this not the case elsewhere...

I was once given a tempory plate because the machine that prints plates at the PCO had broken down.

On this subject, how many LAs licence from a set date ie in York all taxi licences expire at the end of May vehicle and driver, so if you decide to get a licence in say February you only get 4 months use on that licence but you have to pay for the full year regardles, the same system is used on the private hire vehicles which i think is done in october.
