If you paid for a drivers PH/HC badge would you expect a years service or to be repaid the cost when you had no prior agreement?

I think he is asking if someone paid for a year's license for someone, maybe a journeyman, and that person doesn't work for you for a year, is it reasonable to ask the person to front up some cash back to cover the initial cost?

IMO the answer is yes. Quite how you get it is another matter.

As there is no written agreement there is no chance. I tried to get a payment from a driver once through the small claims court even with an agreement in place I still lost as it was deemed an unfair clause.

ok, just for you.....

a base or a car owner pays for a new drivers badge

unless previously agreed, can the base (or car owner) expect to be reimbursed if the driver jacks in (leaves) before a suitable period..
