0-licence and displaying an expired 0-licence identity disc with intent to deceive has cost Epping-based Project 2000 Europe a total of £2250 in fines and costs.
The company pleaded guilty to the offences before Barking Magistrates and was fined f500 for the unauthorised use and £1,500 for using a disc with intent to deceive, and £250 prosecution costs.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), said a vehicle operated by the company was the subject of a roadside check. On closer examination it was seen that the licence disc on the windscreen of the vehicle had expired some 18 months prior to the check. "This company was clearly operating without a licence and the disc had obviously been left in the windscreen of the vehicle to give the impression, without close examination, that an operator licence was in force," said Ostrin. He added that when interviewed, a direct the company stated that it was a small business,thi had tried to act correctly and professionally and subsequently re-applied for a licence but at the 1 that application had been rejected.
For the company, Jonathan Titmuss said company had not received a reminder from theTr. Office. It had severe financial difficulties.
