You should appeal to the Magistrates Court, the penalty you have received is not proportionate to the offence, in my opinion.

Contact a good criminal defence lawyer not the bloke who did your mortgage or divorce, or better still go down to your local Magistrate Court and see who's building is nearest to it. I suspect a criminal defence firm is next door.

You need to do it soon to continue working, but stop all the other stuff about how bad the council is etc etc, it will get you nowhere.

As stated i give a guide price but i never charge over the meter so i didnt break the rules of a hackney licence but to save a argument i said it could go up too ten if u wanted to go else where but the meter is on distance and the price will be that .if i said its £4 and then once we have gone to there house and the garage and then stopped at a mates and the meter says £9 they then start complaining that i said it would only be £4 regardless if i explain you've gone further so thats whys its more dealing with drunk people isnt the same as a sober one

Seems a harsh decision,id definately appeal to magistrate.Personally speaking id never accept or agree with the councils decision on something like this.Far too important a matter for some councillors to make !

Actually you didn't state that you give a guide price and then put the meter on, you just said that you quoted £10.

Grandad,

Sorry i didnt explain it properly .day to day i follow all rules i may bend them a bit but dont want the council to have anything on me so like with these i just prepared them for the bill if it isn't the journey they told me but this really isn't the point.the point is the council have used this to discredit me but I didnt do anything wrong as said they got in another taxi so why should this be used to make me look like iam not following rules and trying to rip people off ?

Thats the difference with a court,hearsay isnt relevant.

that's sadly incorrect - its a civil case - not criminal.

I stand corrected then,but personally speaking in 5 or 6 times in front of council only one went in my favour,where in the magistrates only one went against me.

you stand more chance in a magistrates

Even more in a Crown Court if youve got any money

thats about it i reckon the capt's on the ball lookss like through your cant be bothered ignorance yer in the poo oh well another mug bites the dust

Associations or unions wont bail you out why would they use their members funds to assist a non member when the incident occurred?

Any way theres been plenty of good advice from sussex blackpool and the Capt follow it and heres some from the trot JOIN A UNION AND BE LUCKY

I'm not sure any of that is an issue in this case, although it could be I suppose.

But the main issue to me is the punishment. Six months ban will not be upheld by the court.

Mr TT does make a good point in his own interesting way.

I would bet a pound to a penny that if Mr Madder was in a union he wouldn't be currently under threat of a 6 month ban. (and no not a 12 month one instead)

Are you saying that his council shafted him, basically because they could?
