One question if you don't mind.....did you get a free plate and sell it like liar Skull??
I hope you're aware the righteous one didn't leave by his own accord but got papped out the taxis.
Plates are not free. To be so they would have to have a value in the first place.
taxi licence plates are owned by the council. So, whenb you shelled out for yours, what were you buying.
If you can get round the Caveat Emptor gig, you might just be able to take the guy who relieved you of your cash to court for fraud. Because when he sold you something you can't own, he defrauded you.
But the good news doesn't end there. because when you've humped him, he can in turn hump the council, for putting in place a system which allowed him to think he had the right to hump you.
Everyone gets humped, everyone gets unhumped. Except the council, who carry the final bill.
Just imagine if the council were made to pay compensation for the 1300 or so plates it allowed to be bought and sold despite the Act saying they couldn't.
The council's bill could be £4-5 million. And that's before punitive damages and claims from those denied unfettered access to the tools of their trade. Then there could be criminal charges against some for allowing it happen, and a Parliamentary enquiry into how it all happened in the first place.
Juicy!
