TIFIE Transport Tribunal on Wednesday I. dismissed an appeal by racehorse trainer Mr. G. 0. Fenningworth, of Richmond, Yorks, against a decision of the Northern Licensing Authority.
Mr. R. Yorke appeared for the appellants; G. Wilkinson and Sons (Leybum) Ltd., responding. were represented by Mr. H. G. Hall.
Mr. Yorke said Fermingworth had a Blicensed horsebox and required an additional vehicle to enable him to carry all his awn horses when necessary.
There was a risk of infection, said counsel, when the horses of various trainers were carried in one horsebox: horses were separately stabled at trainers' premises and at race meetings.
Appellant had other reasons, Mr. Yorke went on. His business was helped by charging racehorse owners for transport at cost price. He did not wish to carry other trainers' horses.
Mr. Hall said the respondents were ideally situated to provide a public carrier service in view of the training establishments in the area. Some of their trainer customers had one horsebox, but none had two. The LA, said Mr. Hall, recognized that Wilkinsons had provided a valuable service for many years and he had not required them to give evidence.
If every trainer demanded a second vehicle, said counsel, the valuable public service given by his clients would be gravely affected. He felt that cost comparisons were unfair, since Fenningworth subsidized his transport costs from his training business.
