Yorkie is in bother with Calderdale Licensing, after being reported by a rather jelous driver and has to put in a major defence document.

he has tried to get hold of a solicitor but hes off work sick for 2 weeks.

how do they know he will be well again in 2 weeks?

I await Calderdales next move with interest.

What you been doing Geoff??

I have been accused of plying for hire in an unlicensed car!

the car is a licensed taxi for the next door zone, my defence has them scratching thier heads, is infact that I was within 5 miles of the General post office of my zone.

they had never heard of section 37 aof the 1847 act

worse still they have no record of the act

we will await and see.

I take it you have pointed out to them the Maud case.

Now as this is clearly quite serious I will not make light of it.

But if it wasn't serious, then I would get Nigel to give you the details of a solicitor he knows in Manchester.

He might also be able to help you with your bad back.

yes they now have the Maud case and legal officers are looking at it, but the enforcement mans knowledge seems a bit thin.

bad back? only on carrying such burdens, must go the horses want feeding.

Good luck Yorkie.

cgull never known such an idiot as you!

Yeah. Good luck Yorkie. But I think your knowledge will exceed your requirement for luck.

If Calderdale have a prescribed distance, which a zone implies, then it doesn't matter if you are 5.4.3.2.or 1 mile from the Post office. The Post office is irrelevant.

It may be wise to seek sound advice because If the LO doesn't understand the relevant act, the legal department certainly will and it will be them who take you to court, if indeed it goes that far. In that respect there is nothing whatsoever in the Maud case that will be of assistance to you and if anyone told you there is, then they are sadly mistaken.

If you have already admitted to picking up a flagger out of your zone, then I'm afraid that was a mistake.
