Had you forgotten what section you were referring to when you made up the defence? You are a pedant, only when it suits you. Also, I think you meant "mere possibility" and not "mere probability", the latter is oxymoronic. In any event, your mere "whatever you meant" of a charge it is not remotely possible, as unless you get a job in the Fiscal's office, there is no such defence of reasonable excuse in relation to 21(1).

You could do with developing a bit of humility. It will get you more respect and mark you out as a mature adult, particularly where the circumstances cry out for it.

JD i understood what you were saying.

Also our police have carried out test purchases and it is an ongoing investigation, but i am not holding my breath.

I was refering to the section you mentioned which was section 21, section 21 has 8 subsections two of which have a defence of sorts by way of showing good cause namely ss 6 or showing reasonable cause ss 7, as I said section 21.1.a and 21.1.b have no defence. When you refer to section 21 be specific as you expect others to be.

JD

Seriously, are you for real? You use words and sentences that are out of context, you make things up, your conclusions are unsupported by your arguments, which are, in any event, all over the place.

Humilty. A great deal more appealing than ignorance combined with arrogance.

fact or fiction ? now we are getting there! its all fiction as far as i can see what do you think petrocelli?

I assume you are referring to section 21.1.a and b, shall we keep it precise or do you prefer informal? By the way, that example does say, ""possibly" might look like this" but if you were to ask me does the section have a defence then naturally like most other people on here I would have said no.



I'm slightly confused at "is does not" Do you mean, it does not?



So which section of the 1982 act allows for the prosecution of an unlicensed Joe Blogs plying for hire in an unlicensed vehicle? Considering you have already discounted section 7.1 what other provisions are available?



Don't tell me, this is where you resurrect the residual section 7.

No, I think seasoned is appropriate at my age but perhaps student may have been more apt.



and section 21.1.a refers to what?

If any person— (a) operates, or permits the operation of, a taxi within an area in respect of which its operation requires to be but is not licensed or the driver requires to be but is not licensed or, (b) picks up passengers in, that person shall be guilty of an offence.

What were you saying?



I assume you are restricting your comments of plying for hire not being a legal concept, to sections 10-23 of the 1982 act? Or are you suggesting plying for hire is not a legal concept in respect of all Scottish statutes?



View for profit comes under section 23.2 but I won't hold that against you.



Should that be one "OR", or two?



Shouldn’t that be, there“are” no reported case reports? lol How do you know that, can't you find any? Or is it because I said there is none?



The section actually states picks up passengers in, or permits passengers to be picked up sorry to be pedantic but its catching.



I suppose when you have been in the taxi game as long as some of these guys on here you will understand that when a section makes it an offence for unlicensed persons operating unlicensed vehicles to pick up passengers off the street or make provision for carrying passengers by other means, then that is what is meant by an offence.



I assume the above comment is directed at your failure to understand the statute.



I assume once again you are referring to the 1982 act as plying for hire is already well established in Scottish law as you probably know.



lol "fact and fiction" seems like I've heard that phrase before. Perhaps I'll change it to "fact and science fiction"?

I am bored with you now. I will no longer waste my time on this. Although I do wonder what you are doing on the Scottish board seeking to tell Scottish posters what the position is in Scotland, when you appear to be domiciled and operating in an entirely different jurisdiction? Perhaps you need the responses for your self-esteem, which would be really quite nerdy and, indeed, a sad indictment of your psychological state. Hope your not cracking one off.

The point, JD, is well and truly made. Now, on you go, have the last word (just like my kids).

the english board appears to have been invaded by scots
