Trans-Consult's Alec Hayden, who helped the firms fight the case, claims the ruling means that he has successfully implemented a disciplinary procedure for the Transport Tribunal: "It's a first in transport history. They are under the jurisdiction of Lord McEwan and are operating legally without an operator's licence. It takes those vehicles out of the operating system completely."
