Taxi Licensing
We regularly represent individuals facing issues in relation to their taxi licence.
If you have been asked to attend an interview with your local licensing authority, we can help you.
We are also able to represent those drivers who wish to appeal against the decision of a licensing authority, such as if their licence has been revoked.
There are very strict time limits for appeals, so do not delay and call us for immediate assistance.
As a taxi driver, you face potential prosecutions for a number of offences from operating without a licence, touting/plying for business and many other related motoring offences such as no insurance.
A conviction for any of these offences could put your taxi licence in jeopardy and make you subject to the Council disciplinary process which could result in revocation of your licence.
In addition, offences which carry an endorsement of points could put you in breach of the council policy many of which have a limit of 6 points before you go before the licensing sub-committee for consideration of having your taxi licence revoked. Not only that but if you “totting up” 12 points or more on your driving licence, then you face a minimum 6 month disqualification, which would automatically cause your taxi licence to be revoked
