The PCO (now operating under TaL) has strong form for this sort of
thing. Anything for a quiet life and to hell with the livelihood of
the taxi industry.

It originally decided to do nothing about Welbeck Minicabs and their
Renault Dauphines. History records that something happened
nevertheless.

Hum,

1962!!!!!

It used to be routine for police to beat up suspects in that era

are you going to use that "fact" to prove that they still do so today?

What are you talking about?

I looked up the date of the incident that *you* used to prove that the
licensing authority don't take action against miscreants


Let me remind you that taxis in England and Wales outside London are
licensed under an Act passed in 1847.

Are you under the impression that people today are "cleverer" than
they were then?

We aren't discussing "users" we are discussing the authorities and it
was you that suggested a 50 year old case was relevant

A 53-year-old (and still current) interpretation of a law from the middle
of the 1800s.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing - as an issue of law.

But it's worthless as an issue of current procedure.

You were using the fact that the licensing authority didn't act in this
instance until (presumably) someone else took the issue to court to show
that today's licensing authority would be equally delinquent. And, of
course, it shows no such thing.

Do you always post stuff and then immediately forget that which you post
