Hunt v Morgan viewtopic.php?t=2397&view=next

Also From TfL's Abstract of Laws http://content.tfl.gov.uk/taxi-drivers- ... f-laws.pdf

(The Courts have considered what plying for hire means and what follows is a digest:
An unhired taxi passing along a street is not legally bound to stop when hailed as it is
not legally plying for hire when it is in motion. It is deemed to be in motion for these
purposes even when actually stationary, providing it becomes stationary due to
prevailing traffic conditions or, for example, to comply with traffic signs or signals, or
the directions of a traffic warden or constable. If a taxi driver stops his vehicle in
response to a signal from an intending hirer and speaks with him he is then technically
‘found standing in the street’ and must accept a lawful hiring or he commits the above
offence. The ‘for hire’ sign does not legally affect this position whatever it indicates).
