• A CongletOn-based company has successfully appealed against the revocation of its licence after one of its trucks killed a 12-year-old boy.
1-I,J Lea Oakes had NorthWestern TC Beverley Bell's decision quashed by an appeal tribunal in July. It ruled that: "The Traffic Commissioner's decision
was plainly wrong and... the order of revocation should not have been made."
The case arose after Gerard Byrne was killed when a lorry reversed out of the company's mill in June 1999. Byrne had stopped to tie his shoelaces and was killed instantly. The firm pleaded guilty to failing to dis
charge its duty under the Health and Safety rules by exposing employees to risk and was finec 5.25,000 and £5,000 Costs.
The driver of the lorry, Martir Wriggiesworth, was fined £1,00C and had six penalty points put or his licence. Crewe magistrates later quashed Belts decision tc revoke his licence.
