We represented a Private Hire and Hackney driver whose application for renewal of licence had been refused by the Local Authority as a result of his driving record.

Although our client had 14 points on his driving licence (and had successfully argued exceptional circumstances to avoid a driving ban) we argued that he could show he was a "fit and proper person" to hold a taxi licence due to his impeccable driving record since the last speeding offence - a period of over 14 months during which he had driven almost 75,000 miles!

The Magistrates agreed with our arguments and allowed his appeal - thereby safeguarding his livelihood.
