Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AN appeal by a Gateshead haulage contractor against the refusal of the Northern Licensing Authority to vary his A licence by the addition of one 7-ton vehicle was rejected by the Transport Tribunal in London last week. The B.T.C. were the sole respondents to the appeal.

The President, Sir Hubert Hull, said that the evidence put before the Licensing Authority on behalf of the appellant, Mr. George Gowland, fell short of that which reasonably justified an addition his fleet. He added that the Tribunal were making every allowance for Mr. Gowland's perfectly honest view that his existing fleet was being pressed too hard.
