Operator Licence Granted With Warning At Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry Despite False Declarations Being Made On Application.

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this Operator before the Traffic Commissioner on an application for the Operator’s licence. The Operator had been called in following the omission of his criminal conviction and information on previous licences on the application.

The Traffic Commissioner was concerned that he could not trust this operator due to the false representations made within the application. Following the evidence, the Traffic Commissioner accepted that he could trust the Operator and granted the licence with a formal warning. The Operator had engaged with Transport Consultants and shown that he was committed to ensuring compliance.
