Operator Retains Licence with Curtailment of Margin and Undertaking to Move to Standard National Licence.

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this operator before the Traffic Commissioner at their Public Inquiry following a sustained period of unsatisfactory maintenance and drivers’ hours compliance. The operator had taken advice from an early stage and was able to present a picture of where they would be moving forwards. The Traffic Commissioner accepted the evidence that there had been shortcomings, but also accepted that the operation was in a different shape than when the DVSA provided their initial reports.
