What is the position now Errol, Do you still have a solicitor and what is his opinion on the likelihood of success?

Does anyone know if Errol Leeks got satisfaction from this complaint or not?

Hi All Concerned: JD/ No i did not get any help, my case went in front if a Democratic Panel and they judged that the Inspector was right to revoke my licence he (Inspector)emphasised that the Omega seat was removable this vehicle seat is fitted with an airbag, the inspector went on to say that there is a way to fool the management system in the vehicle, its sad I have lost a lot of money so I have decided to leave the trade after 25years Thank you all for all the welcomed advice

Sorry to hear that Erol, I wish you all the best.

Can a inspector really offer this as an answer seems very strange what would happen if you did this then in an accident all the airbags failed and vauxhall said it was down to fooling the system. I wonder how the inspector would react if drivers took to removing abs warning lights etc to pass council tests.

The inspector would deny saying such a thing.

Hi all, to be honest the inspector must have had it in for me, because it was I who started all the inquiry regarding the swivel seat and airbag, a fellow colleague who has a C class Mercedese had his licence withheld at the same time; but later he was allowed to continue working without a swivel seat although his airbag was in the side of the door, and not in the seat itself as mine, now dont you think that is injustice, obvoiusly for reason best know the inspector was dertermined to have me out of the trade, which in all honesty he has succeded in doing so, if I had the capital I would do my best to see justice done to the Inspector and the Council penalized for the loss of earnings for the last 4 /5years
thank you to all concerned

But of the two vehicles listed one clearly was able to be converted to meet the criteria but the other wasn't.

In order for the council to be questioned about the fairness of that condition it would need to be proven that no more than two vehicles were able to be adapted in the manner in question.

The question, Errol, is - there is no dispute that the Vauxhall Omega should not be converted to accept a swivel seat, however how many other vehicles that meet the councils criteria can. How many different models of vehicles have been converted to accommodate a swivel seat in a manner the council find acceptable?

I think if we are going to try and help we need to know the answer to this question as it will ultimately be the fairness of the condition that would have to be questioned.
