Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Ken Lane Transport, which lost its licence last May because of excise licence and overloading offences (CM 26 May-1 June 1988) has to wait to see if Eastern Licensing Authority Brigadier Compton Boyd is prepared to grant it a fresh licence.

The LA has reserved decision on the Retford-based company's bid for a new international licence for 15 vehicles and 22 trailers. However, he has granted a two-year licence for five vehicles and eight trailers to Europan, a company formed by the wife of one of Ken Lane Transport's directors and her father, which operates from the same base.

Boyd's decision last May to revoke the Ken Lane licence, on grounds of repute, was upheld on appeal by the Transport Tribunal.
