Individual case meaning.
1 of, relating to, characteristic of, or meant for a single person or thing.
Well, precisely a single person or THING.
So the Deregulation Act clearly referring to an individual case of licensing, not trying to distinguish an individual licensee from a business entity.
The explanatory note you quote says:
Deregulation Act 2015, Explanatory notes wrote:
Subsection (3) changes the law in such a way as to establish a standard duration of five years for a private hire vehicle operator licence. The section specifies that a licence may be granted for a period of less than five years but only in the circumstances of an individual case, not because of a blanket policy.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/201 ... ision/5/10And if you look at the wording of the actual legislation, it says:
Deregulation Act, section 10(3)(2) wrote:
Every licence granted under this section shall remain in force for five years or for such lesser period, specified in the licence, as the district council think appropriate in the circumstances of the case.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/201 ... 10/enactedSo the actual legislation simply refers to the "circumstances of the case", thus nothing to do with individuals v companies, or whatever.
