Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THAT the Scottish Motor Traction 1. Co., Ltd., is a newcomer, within the meaning of the Enston decision, was the conclusion reached by the Appeal Tribunal in the appeals by Messrs. E. Ferguson and others against the granting of B licences to the company for two 1-ton goods vehicles to be used for the delivery of parcels from bases at Ayr and Kilmarnock. The machines were to be operated as ancillary to the present parcels service maintained by the concern's buses, with a radius of five miles from the two bases. The Tribunal, after an examination of figures presented by the respondent, stated that the number of pafcels carried by the S.M.T. concern did not justify the grant of B licences. Furthermore, under the licences, as granted, there would be no limitation as to parcels which had been carried on buses, nor as to their weight. In addition, the company would be able to carry any class of goods for anybody.

In the opinion of the Tribunal, the company had not established a primafacie case, and the granting of the licences was not justified.
