We're still thinking about it, but already a number of thoughts occur.
First, we know that the council are not to be trusted. Councillors and legal officials are not honourable people. they are devious conniving scumbags who don't have a shred of common decency.
Second, they have a track record of doing this before. I have a case which had to be sisted a second tiome, incurring more costs, because they brought a licence application back from the court, at their behest, and they denied it a second time. Wonder why I despise these people guys?
Third, they are clearly seeking to reset the criteria to suit themselves. This would have the effect of weakening our case. For example, the sisted cases all cite Human Rights, with the clear intention of having the court examine their policy of restriction in line with Human Rights legislation. Why would we want to allow them to prevent this?
It is also interesting that once again the council has ignored the Human Rights aspects of the appeal writ, as they ignored the Human Rights submission made during the application and as they ignored the Human Rights issues surrounding their disgraceful handling of the Skull affair. They're not bright if they don't realise that this all now coming back to bite them.
Fourth, the council has been told, and they've confirmed it in their letter reproduced above, that they were bound to issue licences in order of application, and not by the contrived method they concocted, which we warned them about at the time of application but they persisted anyway.
But of course, there were already a number of sisted aases, which legally are still applications in the process, which were only denied originally under section 10 (3) that there was no significant demand for extra taxis in the area, and which should have been reconsidered in the light of a demand being found. This is what any reasonable council would have done.
Now we have chapter and verse that the council has once again acted improperly, they need to be dealt with.
Fifth, this council has been intrinsically corrupt in its handling of taxi licensing. As such they have cost me plenty. I want compensation for their nefarious conduct. They need to be punished. They need to pay. And in such a significant amount so that the public asks what the hell has been going on.
Sixth, the council thinks it's being smart writing this letter in this tone. They appear to forget that they have real problems, their duplicity has caught up with them, to the point that they have to hide behind secrecy to hide their embarrassment. But freedom of information doesn't count when these matters come before the courts. The court will insist, in the interests of justice, that all exculpatory documents are revealed. This council, by playing fast and loose with these sisted cases is heading for the fullest judicial examination of what they've got up to. That's our right. And that will cost them both financially and in their own jobs.
Now why should we allow them to lead us back into their lyings den, so that they can shaft us again? Ir's not going to happen.
If there is a shred of intelligence in this council, and they really want to resolve matters, then I suggest someone picks up the fone with some urgency and do what their failure to do that has caused all their problems - speak to me honestly.
That's where I am.
