Common Law has a certain amount of legal standing when it comes to Copyright, designs and Trade Marks!!!

I'm asking this question :?:

Does the allocation of licences from the IPL not have some form of protection from Common Law

It's Common law that if you queue and are first in that queue then you as first will be dealt with first

If not then why do we accept queing?

Is the council within their rights to appeal the ruling that the live appers are queue jumpers, and feel as the regulator they acted fairly and without discrimination using common knowledge that all applicants knew there was a list?

This is just a question that i don't know the answer to but it seems fair to assume Common Law has some standing in this case

My lord red cab man dont you realise how stupid this post makes you seem, Get your self a copy Blacks law directory this is used by the crown for reference it might help stem the flow of urine you spout

ps As for common law jurisdiction this is the method of challenge I would use to fight for a plate not this statute law the crown would like us all to use thay are just ACTS .

Nae wonder Reggie, it is preferable for you to research and do your homework first before posting, nothing against you personally as you are voicing your opinion...

Dougie, the council went straight to those on the IPL, granted their licenses, meeting the recommended demand, without considering the other applicants. As I understand it, they are being forced to grant to those they failed to consider. Now according to Sheriff Nobles ruling the council doesn't have to grant in sequential order of application, but they do have to consider all licenses equally that come before the committee.


Dougie, I think you've gotten off lightly. Keep in mind the fact, that not everyone had an opportunity to apply in the first place. :-|

Oh and Dougie, I think Sheriff Noble is talking shi* but, unless it goes to appeal, we will never find out. :-|


I think the council as you accepted previously will not go to appeal, just sit back and take on what comes next, their argument is that they have already issued the original 30 plates and won't issue anymore without a SUD, they will though reform the way they allocate.

Our Trade reps have to encourage this action to protect the integrity of SUDs



dougie the courts have the final say not the council :roll:
are you feechin mad :roll: :roll: :roll:

are you even paying attention :shock: :shock:

But clearly the biggest carpetbagger would be an ordinary member of the public who applies and is successful while a working driver of many years standing loses out.

That's what your 'lottery' could entail, indeed if these things were better known about then thousands would be applying for each plate and the drivers would have no chance.

Perhaps councils should just pick names from the electoral roll and hand them a plate? :roll:

You still have not explained what a carpetbagger is..... and as for the lottery.... there is nothing to stop a council from putting in place a policy... that policy could be that licences would only be issued to existing drivers that have been in the trade for more than three years... it could include both private hire and hackney.... it could include a number of things as long as they are reasonable..... I repeat define carpetbagger.....

There's lots of factors that could be considered, and I gave an extreme example earlier. Another might be mutli-plate holders :lol:

But you've already significantly tightened your definition of a lottery - you orginally said "everyone's name in a hat" - and are thus missing the point I made.
