A statement from the inspectors’ office said: “Alongside the appeal application, the Traffic Commissioner was asked to consider a stay of her decisions regarding the company, its director Philip Higgs, and transport manager Frank Steele, pending the outcome of any appeal hearing.
“After considering that request, Mrs Bell decided to stay her decision to revoke the company’s licence and disqualify the company, its director and the transport manager. She did so due to the complexity of the case and the delay in the decision being issued.
“Accordingly, this means the orders will not now come into effect on July 31, pending the outcome of any appeal hearing.”
Shame that the company will cease to exist from the 31st July
ReplyDeleteI believe the case is being appealed, which means that the company can temporarily continue to trade in the short term.
Deletewhere did you find out that?
