ACASE in which Dr. Dawson Sadler. West' Midland' Deputy Licensing Authority, reached a decision without hearing the representations of the objectors or their witnesses, has, as reported in "The Commercial Motor" on May 16, been referred back to the Licensing Authority for rehearing.
In its written decision on the appeals of A. E. Jones, N. T. Lloyd, and W. A. Faulkner against the grant of a B licence to G. Fuller for one vehicle to be acquired, the Tribunal points out that Dr. Sadler had failed in his duty under Section II (2) of the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933, by neglecting to hear the objectors.
At the appeal hearing, the appellants also stated that Dr. Sadler took into consideration complaints by Hereford City Council of the inadequacy of transport for livestock, although they were not mentioned at the public inquiry.
