Minutes:
The Sub-Committee considered a report regarding a complaint which had been made against the holder of a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
The Sub-Committee was informed that the matter fell within the Council’s policy for determination by the Sub-Committee. Accordingly, the hearing had been convened to enable the Sub-Committee to determine whether the licence holder remained a fit and proper person to hold a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver Licence.
The licence holder and three representatives of the licence holder attended the hearing.
After hearing representations from the licensing officer, the licence holder’s barrister requested an adjournment, as one of the witnesses was not in attendance.
RESOLVED – That consideration of this matter be deferred to a future meeting of the General Licensing Sub-Committee, to allow one of the witnesses, who was not in attendance due to illness, to attend the meeting.
