Judicial Summary
The appellant company’s operator’s licence was revoked on the grounds of loss of good repute and serious breach of undertakings relating to drivers’ hours. All the appellants were disqualified for three years. The appellants contended that their representative at the public inquiry had been incompetent to such an extent as to render the inquiry unfair and the matter ought to be remitted for further consideration. The Upper Tribunal decided that in an appropriate case a decision might be set aside on such a basis and that there had been some failings on the part of the appellants’ representative, but concluded that those failings had not had the effect of rendering the inquiry unfair.
