• Scottish LA Michael Betts refused to grant a licence to Turriff Transport Consultants after concluding that Billy Walker, former managing director of Kildonan Transport, played a major role in the firm.

In March 1994 the LA revoked the 45-vehicle/90-trailer licence held by Kildonan Transport— formerly Kildonan MacBrayne Haulage—because of the company's maintenance history and record of convictions (CM 10-16 March 1994). He banned both the company and Walker from holding or obtaining an 0-licence for three years.

Turriff Transport Consultants sought a new international licence for three vehicles and three trailers, based at Little Shandcross Croft, Turriff.

Deciding that the company did not meet the requirement to be of good repute, Betts said that in the original application Walker had been nominated as transport manager. He had rejected that proposal on the grounds that Walker did not meet the requirement to be of good repute.

Having considered the evidence presented at an Aberdeen public inquiry, Betts had concluded that Walker performed the focal role in Turriff Transport Consultants, and that without him the company would not exist It was on that basis, and in view of Walker's previous conduct, that he was refusing the appliBetts: Refused to cation. grant licence.
