Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

In a written judgment, the Transport ibunal has refused the appeal of A. J. 11 against the decision of the South Eastern censing Authority not to grant an A ence in substitution of the appellant's B ence (see CM April 5).

During the latter months of 1967 Hill's o vehicles were not fully employed upon work of Meon Valley Metals Ltd., the med customer: there was the equivalent half a vehicle's time unemployed each At the public inquiry Mr. N. H. .ancis, a director of Meon Valley Metals, id that he had not been employing the pellant on loads he had going to ScunDrpe and Doncaster, because he was der the impression that those places were tside the appellant's radius. When it was pointed out to Mr. Francis that those places were, in fact, within the appellant's radius, Mr. Francis said that he would be prepared to offer this work to the appellant. If that were done, the appellant's vehicles would again be fully employed upon the work of Meon Valley Metals Ltd.

The Tribunal considered that the appellant would not be in the position to satisfy the need of other customers if he gave the priority to the work of Meon Valley Metals which he offered, and which Mr. Francis demanded.

They came to the conclusion, therefore, that the appellant did not succeed in making out a prima facie case for the grant of his application.
