v1EMORIES of bygone licensing :ases were stirred when I read in rhe Daily Telegraph of the retirenent of Judge Edgar Fay, one of he three Official Referees, at the nd of October.
As Mr E. S. Fay, QC, he ap)eared in important goods and )assenger licensing hearings md appeals. If my memory ;erves me aright, he represented he George Ewer Group.
Like some other former rpecialists in transport law, he )pted for the bench, though in a )ranch that is apparently not nuch sought after. An Official leferee's work is said to be :ather dull, apart from which the ;alary is £10,000 a year less than hat of a High Court Judge — )nd the post does not carry a mighthood.
Traffic courts may have lacked irama but even they had their noments.
