Company Escapes with Curtailment of Margin at Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry

Barrister, Millicent Dooher, represented this Company before the Traffic Commissioner. The Company had received an extremely unsatisfactory maintenance investigation visit report, a significant period without a transport manager and allegations relating to motoring offences. The Operator had improved compliance and obtained professional assistance. Ultimately, the Traffic Commissioner curtailed the Operator’s margin, ensuring that the operation of the business was not materially affected. (affected or effected?)

This is an example of how proper preparation for a Public Inquiry can prevent serious sanctions being taken against operators. If you have been called into a Public Inquiry, get in touch with one of our lawyers today.
