The Scottish TC has turned down an 0-licence application by a
well-known Strathclyde haulier because of his brother's "tarnished"
reputation. Mike Jewell reports.
A SCOTTISH OPERATOR who infuriated creditors when a firm he was involved with collapsed has been refused an 0-licence for a new company he wanted to run with his disqualified brother.
Murray Brady's licence application for Brady Transport has been turned down because TC Joan Aitken believed it would provide an opportunity for George Brady — who has been banned from holding a licence for five years — to resume running goods vehicles "by the hack door".
George Brady lost his licence for Kilsyth Transport following a pub lic inquiry in 2001 before then-Scottish TC Michael Betts.He had been sole director of Kilsyth Transport Services (KTS), though Murray Brady held 50% of the shares.
Murray Brady helped run KTS with his brother until insolvency practitioners were called in as provisional liquidators in October 2004. Its report eventually revealed that creditors would not receive any of the il.3m they were owed (CM 9 February).
According to Aitken. an individual who merited a five-year disqualification by a TC was one who had gone beyond the pale in terms of road safety and fair competition. His brother Murray was not so tarnished but had been a shareholder and involved in KTS's operation, albeit latterly concentrating on a Dutch venture.
The TC had been told how Murray Brady would deal with the transport side of Brady Transport and had quite deliberately gone into business with a man disqualified from holding an 0-licence.
This was a fraternal partnership, albeit constituted as a legal entity. In view of this, and the constitution of the company, she believed that the application was simply a route by which George could re-enter goods vehicle operation and so refused the application.
