LICENSING INVESTIGATIONS AND PANEL HEARINGS SOLICITORS MANCHESTER

All taxi drivers, private hire and black cabs must be licensed by the local council. Before they issue a taxi licence the council need to be satisfied that the applicant is fit and proper to transport fare-paying passengers.

If during a licence application, a renewal or during the term of a licence a local authority is made aware of circumstances that cause them concern they may carry out an investigation into any taxi offences they believe may have been committed. Illegally plying for hire, receiving points on their licence, violence and dishonesty are examples of why a council would investigate.

Following an investigation, you could face disciplinary action or your suitability to hold a taxi licence could be determined by a panel hearing. If a panel hearing is to take place they should notify you of the date, time and place of the hearing.

At your taxi panel hearing, the committee has guidance they must consider when considering the case brought before them. They have the power to suspend or revoke taxi licences if they see fit to.

I approached Brian due to totting up points on my licence. Three more points could have resulted in me being disqualified from driving and as a Courier this would have cost me my Livelihood.Brian... decided that the best route to take would be to enter a plea of exceptional hardship. He explained everything clearly and guided me through the process whilst reducing the considerable stress I was under.His efforts secured me the best possible outcome. Not only did I keep my licence, I also received the lowest possible fine.I can't recommend Brian highly enough and would urge anyone in similar circumstances to contact Brian Koffman & Co Solicitors without hesitation.Thank you Brian.read more

I have just contacted Brian to get some advice regarding a motoring offence - as the website indicates they pride themselves on these cases.It was my first experience of having a penalty of this... nature and was looking to instruct a solicitor to gain some advice on the best steps.He was incredibly blunt and rude. He compared my enquiry to the likes of a doctor seeing a patient with no knowledge of the symptoms? Despite me being on the phone to answer any questions regarding the offence in question.Completely bizarre and rude, with him then hanging up on me.read more
