Tribunal upholds decision to revoke licence
A COMPANY THAT failed to produce evidence of financial standing has lost its appeal against the revocation of its 0-licence.
North London-based Secure Transport & Trading had its licence revoked by Philip Brown, the South-Eastern & Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner, on the grounds of a lack of financial and professional competence.
Director Halil Vural told the TC that he had no vehicles in his possession because they had been stolen, but he wanted to start operating again.
The TC reduced the authorisation on the licence from four vehi cies to one and gave the firm a grace period in which to obtain a new qualified transport manager — the previous one had left.
The company was also required to produce three months' worth of bank statements by the end of March.
On 31 March, a letter was received from a transport consultant saying Vural had misunderstood the condition to mean three months' bank statements from the end of March, not up to the end of March — a period that he was not operating in.
It was said that Vural was in the process of seeking property to finance the business. The TC was asked to extend the period of grace for obtaining a new transport manager and agreed to do so until the end of May.
In June, the TC's office wrote to Vural informing him that unless there was a response by 24 June, the TC would consider revoking the licence.
No response was received, so the licence was revoked.
The appeal tribunal said there had been more than adequate warning of the consequences if financial standing was not shown.
