But the point is that whether or not he got to keep his driving license and/or taxi licenses, you don't seem to doubt that he was guilty of the conduct in question, thus he was fair game for adverse comment?

From what I know this guy has had a relatively trouble free record, within 12 months of his old man being taken ill and then dying he accumulates 11 points. I dont really doubt the connection whilst others would.

Well I've no reason to doubt this, but surely the salient point is his driving, not mitigating factors?

I mean if someone was caught drunk driving, would this be excusable because he's just suffered some personal tragedy?

I don't think anyone is doubting that there may be mitigating factors, but the point is that the public interest is generally put before personal tragedy in situations like this?

And I thought you said that councils knew best anyway?

Another exception?

I did, and not an exception, because the law states a person has a right to appeal.

Seems fair to me.
What if he had been convicted of a sex offence?, would the LA be right in letting him work.
I'm not saying the LA get it right all the time, but someone with that many points in such a short time should be more careful, I think the LA got it right.

Thats a construction.

Locals are best placed to decide is the real term.
