• An ex-Metropolitan traffic area court clerk, David Bush, of Hewitt Avenue, London N22, had his convictions on three counts of conspiring to obtain the grant of licences under Part IV of the Road Traffic Act, 1960, quashed at the London Appeal Court.
Mr Bush, who was charged with four other men and a transport company — all later acquitted — in July 1970, had his 18month suspended prison sentence quashed as well. Mr Bush's appeal revolved around a point of law. The appeal was allowed by Mr Justice Borham.
The initial court case created a considerable stir in official quarters and it is believed that the whole action cost the then Ministry of Transport over £100,000 to bring.
