produce the current tax discs for three vehicles, or face having his company's licence revoked.

The company had been called before West Midland Traffic Commissioner John Mervyn Pugh at a Birmingham discipli Monnox said that he had failed to notify the convictions to the Traffic Area as he had not known how to do it. He had a lot of things going on at the time and it had been a genuine oversight. The convictions related to an ongoing boundary dispute with a member of his family. The compensation and costs had now been paid in full. He had been told by his solicitor to pay them at £10 a week pending an appeal but the appeal was subsequently abandoned. He had completed the community service order.

Mervyn Pugh commented that Monnox had quite clearly been badly advised. If court orders were paid in instalments it put an operator's financial standing in doubt. He needed to see a receipt to confirm that the £315 had been paid.

Asked about problems over vehicle excise duty, Monnox said that the dates when the vehicles were due to be taxed were now included on the maintenance walkhart to prevent any further problems. The vehicles were all currently taxed.
