Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE appeal of Robson Bros. (Haltwhistle) Ltd.

(CM May 5) against the decision of the Northern LA who had refused to grant a B licence for four vehicles, has been dismissed by the Transport Tribunal in a written decision.

The Tribunal took the view that the evidence of availability of the objectors was so weak that it would not have made a good prima facie case. But it also took the view that the application was weak and that a grant to cope with the proposed work on the Penrith by-pass would have been premature..

The Tribunal suggested that as the appellant was now a wholly owned subsidiary of Harrison's Limeworks Ltd., and much of the work proposed for the B licence was on Harrison's behalf, it could be carried on C licensed vehicles.
