According to the IC's decision tlis is not the first time

tnat Malcolm Plaskitt attempted a deception of this kind.

In 2004 Simms dealt with a firm called Lincolnshire Haulage (2003). a client of Plaskitt's that Simms believed had been set up as a shell company. In his decision on Lincolnshire Haulage (2003) Simms wrote: "Unfortunately, I see only Mr Plaskitt's hand in these matters.

"It was he who made the licence application. It is he who receives all of the correspondence. It is he, similarly, who makes the representations."

Simm's decision was subsequently supported by the Transport Tribunal, In his written decision on the latest case Simms said: "Lincolnshire Haulage (2003) was very much Mr Raskin creature, as has been L&M Distribution since at least November 2005.

"A link to Steven Dean. a disqualified operaor, was established as the purpose for his involvement with the former,

"To provide the means for Paul Oven to overcome the revocation of his company's licence, Malcolm Plaskitt persuaded Mr Sykes to relinquish control of L&M."

Simms has now issued a ruling banning Plaskitt from representing licence holders in the Eastern Traffic Area: "Expressed as a term of art applicable to operators, Malcolm Plaskitt is not of good repute."

He warns operators to remove Plaskitt's address as their registered off ice or correspondence address by 30 November.
