I suppose under normal circumstances you might be able to give us an example of the inequality of this website? But I suspect for reasons unknown to us that such examples escape you right now?

It's a common fact that this site prefers quality controls to quantity controls. The reason being is that quality controls place an emphasis on the license holder reaching a standard that is attainable by every applicant. Quantity controls place the emphasis on a plate being available to buy and whether or not the buyer has enough money to buy it?

One of those options stands for equality the other stands for inequality and suffice to say it is you who supports the latter, so what does that make you?

I don't think I need to give an example of inequality, because that's not what I was actually alluding to. I stated the emphasis was on delimitation over and above equality (and meant in that context).

But even the emphasis on quality controls they could be considered as discriminatory to some.

I tend to disagree with your statement Quantity controls place the emphasis on a plate being available to buy and whether or not the buyer has enough money to buy it? as putting a limit on anything will lead to a scarcity value?

Ok, I suppose we can take it that you withdraw the accustation that TDO practices inequality?

And that your reference was entirely based on the fact that TDO prefers Quality controls over quantity controls. I don't think Dusty or Alex would deny that they think quantity controls of vehicles by councillors are a restriction on the ability of drivers to obtain a license. The stand is based on a particular policy and as such has nothing whatsoever to do with TDO practising inequlaity. It is the policy that is unequal not TDO?

As Dusty would say, "aren't we just covering old ground thats has been covered many many times before"?

Or are you just AGAIN avoiding answering the accusation that you support restrictions .................. as long as they are on your terms.

Who's accusing me of supporting restrictions, You?

Do you consider quality controls as restrictions?

I suppose you would, considering you are already on record as saying, they are restrictive but aren't you the chap who now advocates quality controls in Gateshead? I can't make you out? One minute your against qaulity controls the next minute your for them?

A little consistancy might help here.

As for me, I've always been a quality control man always will be, does that answer your question?

Yes I would consider quality controls to restrict entry to the trade.

I would also question why you believe they wouldn't restrict entry.

I would suggest that it is not me that should look at consistancy but your good self.

Its a simple case of restriction under your terms.

What I advocate is total control.

Making sure the right drivers are driving the right amount of taxis.

Cap my dear fellow, if your tanks were indeed parked on my lawn it might have been a good idea to bring with you something other than blanks?

I have recently applied to my local council for a HC licence and have been refused on the grounds of No Unmet Demand,I dispute this and believe that there is unmet demand but have been told that No more licenses will be issued until maybe after the next survey in 2008.
I believe if I appealled then I would have a reasonable chance of winning based partly on the review that has just been completed and is going before the Cabinet later today http://www.chester.gov.uk/committeeSystems/PDFdocs/REP%2030112006%20CAB%20-%20PROGRESS%20UPDATE%20OF%20T.pdf
So what I want to know is how much does it cost to take the appeal to court does anyone have any experience of these things ?

I did state in a previous post that I would not bother going through the courts but I feel totally justified and to be honest fed up about the way I have been treated.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Going to Court is a bit like getting into a London Taxi. If you have to ask what it might cost, you can't afford it.
