An interesting case heard at Newport (Mon.), last Saturday, involved the liability of a defendant, who was described by the prosecution as a scrap merchant, but who declared himself to ,be a motor dealer, to hold a carrier's licence.
The employer and his driver were summoned in connection with the use of a vehicle without a carrier's licence and for the wrongful use of general trade plates. •. The employer said that the lorry was sent out to tow a car. As it was unsafe to tow, the car was dismantled and loaded on to the lorry. It did not represent scrap metal.
The prosecution contended that, even if the load did comprise a dismantled car, it should still be regarded as scrap. It was stated that since the matter was raised the employer had taken out e, carrier's licence.
He was fined a total of £5, but the summonses against the driver were dismissed.
