well, unless im VERY much mistaken, a hackney can:-


a) tout/ply for hire/take a flag down IN HIS OWN AREA, and in addition:-
b) take any prebooked work from anywhere to anywhere


whereas a PHV can only do "b" above


if not, can someone do my dec 2nd manchester return please?

I just wanted to know if as the poster states a PH can legally pick up anywhere in the country


I've picked up in Oxford before now to bring a fare back up here and it was perfectly legal then so it should still be now :wink:

Neither HC nor PH can tout - the HC driver must only passively ply for hire, if he tries to solicit custom on the street by getting out of his car or even calling out to them from his car then that's touting and a criminal offence.

In 1993 Liverpool City Council challenged Sefton's operators through the courts with regards to their drivers picking up and dropping off passengers within Liverpool. It was presided over by a stipendiary magistrate (making it a STATED case)


He seems a little confused regarding stated case, and it was the Divisional Court case of "Windsor and Maidenhead Royal Borough Council v Khan" in 1994 that established the case law regarding cross border bookings. Magistrates or crown courts don't set precedents.

It was the Divisional court that also made the ruling in Britain v ABC Cars Camberley Ltd 1981 that a private hire vehicle collecting a passenger within a controlled district in pursuance of a contract for hire made outside that district, did not amount to operating the vehicle in the district for the purposes of the 1976 act under section 46(1)(d).

Quote:
So a Sefton badged driver in a Sefton plated car can accept a booking from a Sefton licensed operator to take pre-booked passengers from anywhere to anywhere.


But he got that right.

JD
