WillEN Messrs. Malik and Heatley VV applied to the Northern Licensing Authority lase week to renew their B licence for one vehicle and to add another of 3 tons, the application of an objector, Mr. 3. A. Risi, Newcastle upon Tyne, for a B licence for a vehicle of 3 tons was taken first, as, according to Mr. F. Milton, for Mr. Risi and the four other objectors, there was a risk of a dual grant.
Mr. Risi told the Authority that in November, 1954, he purchased from Mr. Malik a lorry with a B licence for 1150, paying £200 down and agreeing to pay the balance later. There was no differentiation in the price as between the vehicle and the goodwill.
Mr. Malik said that he had not sold the licence to Mr. Risi, whom he was going to treat as a partner until the balance had been paid. Then the licence would be surrendered to Mr. Risi.
Questioned by Mr. Milton about the partnership between Mr. Malik and Mr. Heatley, Mr. Malik stated: " He shares the profits, but I pay the losses. There have been no profits." Mr. Malik had seen Mr. Heatley only once since entering into the partnership.
The Authority stated that it was obviously Mr. Malik's intention to sell Mr. Risi half of the business. A licence was granted to Mr. Risi for the purchased vehicle. Mr. Malik's case was adjourned until documentary evidence from Mr. Heatley to show that he was no longer connected with the business could be obtained.
