SBC Win Two Private Hire Appeals at The Old Bailey in One Day

Transport Solicitor Laura Newton was instructed to act on behalf of two separate Private Hire Drivers. Each had been subject to a revocation of their PCO Licence by TfL, following allegations of misconduct from passengers via the Operator apps. Both Drivers had lost the appeals at the Magistrates’ Court and appeals were brought before the Crown Court. Instructing Counsel in the Old Bailey, both appeals resulted in success and criticism of TfL’s lack of scrutiny and unfair decision making process. Each driver was awarded over £4500 in costs.
