• Evidence that A. and P. McNamara was about to sign a contract for regular maintenance of their two vehicles failed to secure a successful appeal against the revocation of its licence at the Transport Tribunal in London on Tuesday.
Mr Anthony McNamara — joint owner of the company — was told that there had been no contractural maintenance arrangement when he had been called before the West Midland Deputy LA last October.
The Tribunal heard that the deputy LA had revoked the licence after a vehicle examiner had visited A. and P. McNamara's premises and found defects on both vehicles. At the previous hearing it had been stated that the company had also been convicted of overloading and had been fined £30 at Coventry.
Mr McNamara claimed that the vehicles received regular maintenance, but the vehicle examiner could find only one record of inspection in two years.
Pending the appeal, the company had negotiated a contract with a firm of commercial repairers for maintenance inspections of the vehicles every 5000 miles or every five days.
