THE
E Transport Tribunal, at Edinburgh week, remitted an application back to the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin, because of "an unfortunate slip," on the part of the Authority in not considering fully a statutory objection, The British Transport Commission and Highland Haulage, Ltd., appealed against a grant by Mr. Quin to M. Allan (Carriers), Ltd., of Airth, Stirtingshire, of two additional A vehicles in place of vehicles operating under contract licences with George Younger and Sons, of Alloa.
Mr. A. B. Wilkinson, for the appellants, told the Tribunal that at the public inquiry evidence had been given on behalf of George Younger and Sons to the effect that the vehicles were required for their traffic to Alloa and the north. When Mr. J. Loudon, for Highland Haulage Ltd., who were objecting, sought to crossexamine a witness in order to show that Highland Haulage could provide the facilities required, Mr. Quin had refused him permission to continue with the crossexamination, stating that the applicants had fulfilled the requirements laid down by the Tribunal for proof of need in such cases. He had then granted the application.
"in this hearing," commented the president, Sir Hubert Hull, "light only seems to dawn towards the end. It is plainly the duty of the Licensing Authority to consider any statutory objection. Mr. Quin made an unfortunate slip."
Sir Hubert said that the grant would not be set aside for seven days to allow the •respondents time to make other arrangements for Younger's traffic.
