IN a written judgment giving its reasons for dismissing an appeal by Broadway Haulage and others against a grant of a live-vehicle B licence to G. W. Fleming of Redcar by the Northern deputy Licensing Authority, 'the Transport Tribunal said that whether or not they had jurisdiction to hear the appellants, they felt that the deputy LA.'s decision was correct.
When the appeal was heard last month (The Commercial Motor, May 15) the Tribunal said that the appellants had no right of appeal. In their written judgment, the Tribunal said that on the face of it, the application appeared to be one made under Section 173(1)(c) of the 1960 Road Traffic Act, under which the Authority was entitled to inquire into the matter and hear representations.
But, the Tribunal ruled, "having decided to grant a licence, that is an end of the matter". There was no right of appeal.
