The disability legislation going through westminster at the moment will kill of any doubts here.

It is expected to recommend taht all coucils stipulate WAVs
And any council who does not have 100% WAVs will not be able to restrict numbers.

It also stipulates that all disabilities must be catered for so saloons could be licenced as hacks

I think you will find that this legislation from Westminster changes everything.

Any decicion made in a court in the past will be irrellevant.
The courts have to APPLY the law, and not MAKE the law.

It is WHEELCHAIR accessable vehicles they are talking about, and not disability friendly.

NO WAV RULE, THEN NO RESTRICTION ON NUMBERS

As this could be seen as a penalty, 100% wav could be seen as an instruction from parliament and so turns this ruling on its head.

Frank, you could be right, but not in the way you think, 100% wav could be seen as a requirement and not an instruction - equal opportunities and all that . . .

Gary,

I wont argue about a word with you.
But we both know what the outcome will be.

Some councils will have to choose between NOT being 100% WAV and having restricted numbers. They will not be able to have it both ways.


At least Edinburgh is 100% WAV and so is Ok.
But some difficult decisions for some.

The Equality bill is new legislation, not taken into account in this judgement.
If new legislation requires changes, old court cases like this will not apply.
New law can change the validity of an old judgement..............

Frank, if I am willing to put on a WAV, then why should I be denied? No instruction, merely a requirement, that I am prepared to fulfil.

On what grounds, should I be denied the opportunity to put on such a vehicle?
