they are looking at as a PH passing a booking to another PH (in the same area) but it looks fraught with possible dangers

A ph does a booking for an op and cannot pass it on to another ph,only the op can pass it on to another op in same area or another ph on same ops licence, or hackney from anywhere.

both the base and the car are in the same LA, its one ops-licenced firm (the base) passing to another ops-licensed firm (the car), i just doubt that a car owner/plated running round doing jobs off a radio will have all booking details that base has taken, and will the base keep 100% accurate details to hand to the car owner if needed?

Only the operator taking the booking has to keep records of the booking,if he passes it to another op in same area,then that op will have to record the booking?

Does this mean a hackney is issued with an ops licence also?

Theirs not an application form for an operators licence on the Lichfield web site?

But in the light of massive changes, to the communications infrastructure, would that judge, or any judge, repeat that judgement?

I'm not convinced they would.

in theory yes but the LA in question (not mine) thinks a car owner can simply request details off the base who took the job and sent him/her

It's for the licensing authority to get the info from the operator,there's no requirement for a driver to keep these details for them.and if he did keep records for all his bookings he would not know what time it was booked,who took the booking,when the booking was amended and by whom,wether the booking was made by phone,in person,by another driver ect

Yes

the LA in question are making the car owner the operator responsible for booking details, even though the booking didnt come from the passenger, but from the cars base

56 Operators of private hire vehicles (1) For the purposes of this Part of this Act every contract for the hire of a private hire vehicle licensed under this Part of this Act shall be deemed to be made with the operator who accepted the booking for that vehicle whether or not he himself provided the vehicle.


If they intended each vehicle to have an ops licence and record all bookings then why does it say the above in the 76act?
