Can a hackney carriage driver appeal to the courts on a decision by a local authority to NOT limit hackney carriage vehicle numbers... i.e. too many hackney carriage vehicles licensed and a request to introduce or reintroduce a limit was refused........interested to hear you opinions and views. I'm thinking this from the unrest we hear up and down the country about HC vehicles and no limits.

IMO no.....but the council decision could be questioned via judicial review, I fear however, due to the plethora of court cases in favour of deregulation, this would be a costly failure.

Parliament allows councils to de-limit, and I doubt any court will view that as illegal or irrational, especially when it's DfT Best Practise.

IMO the only way to change a policy of de-limitation to one of limitation is to lobby councillors.

And I wouldn't wish that task on anybody.
