THE Transport Tribunal in London last week reserved its decision on an appeal by Mr. Tom Thresh, of St. Michael's Close, Thornhill, Dewsbury, against a refusal by the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority to extend the conditions of his B licence to cover furniture removals.
Mr. H. G. Hall, for three objectors, said the Tribunal should uphold the Yorkshire decision because Mr. Thresh had acted in "blatant disregard" of the conditions of his B licence.
Mr. Hall said Mr. Thresh had "raided" the areas of one of the objectors, T. G. Best and Co. Ltd., of Leeds, with "illegal operations" in furniture removals.
Mr. M. H. Jackson-Lipkin, for Mr. Thresh, said that last year Mr. Thresh had realized his operations were "doubtful" and had immediately applied to the Yorkshire LA to remedy this.
His B licence before the application allowed him to carry "odd items of furniture and household goods" within 25 miles of Thornhill (Dewsbury) post office.
He had asked the LA to allow him to carry ordinary furniture from offices, canteens, schools, churches and shops. He also asked to carry new and second-hand furniture within 25 miles of Thornhill.
Mr. Jackson-Lipkin said the LA had granted the "new and second-hand furniture" application but had refused the variation for furniture removals.
He said that his case was that this refusal had been "too severe a punishment".
