THE Transport Tribunal in London last
week dismissed a Wolverhampton haulage contractor's appeal against a West Midlands Licensing Authority decision which allowed the renewal of an A licence with a normal user amended by the contractor.
The appellant, Mr. A. L. S. Harman, of Compton Road, Wolverhampton, managing director of A. L. S. Harman, Ltd., originally asked the Licensing Authority for a continuation of the licence with its existing normal user.
At the public hearing the Licensing Authority decided he was not justified in granting the renewal on that basis, but after Harman amended the normal user the renewal was granted.
The Tribunal President, Sir Hubert Hull, told him: "The Licensing Authority seemed to think he could not grant the declaration of normal user applied for and suggested to your solicitor that if he asked for something different he would renew the licence. Your solicitor asked for something else on your behalf and he got it."
If Harman had customers calling for his services he could ask the Licensing Authority for a variation of the licence.
Sir Hubert said he would not order the application to be reheard.
