vehicle excise loading offences, Associated Enfield companies Tryhard Transport and LIB Thear have had their licences, authorising a total of 30 vehicles and trailers, revoked by Metropolitan Licensing Authority Air Vice Marshal Ronald Ashford. The LA has granted a stay, pending appeals to the Transport Tribunal.
Ashford said that the two companies, of Jeffries Road, Brimdon, Essex, and their associates, had incurred over 50 convictions and mitigated penalties since 1981.
It appeared that the two companies had adopted a deliberate policy of evading their legal obligations as regards the payment of vehicle excise duty.
The two companies, and their controlling director David Sawyer, had been warned at a public inquiry in May 1987 that further convictions would jeopardise the standing of the companies and their directors.
Since that inquiry there had been 17 convictions, seven of which related to vehicle excise duty offences.
