The TO can consider criminal convictions when considering repute, including those of the operator's employees, But spent convictions roust be disregarded and applicants do not need to disclose them.
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 determines that convictions can be spent after a period of rehabilitation, determined by factors including the sentence and the offender's age when convicted. Sentences up to six months are normally spent after seven years but those of 30 months or more are never spent.
The TC can choose to disregard unspent convictions it he or she believes sufficient time has elapsed. However, while discretion may be exercised in the case of companies, the TO must decide that a person is not of good repute if he or she has more than one serious unspent criminal conviction or several road transport offences on their record.
