The Taylor appeal has just been lost with the council's offer to reconsider it being perfectly legal and acceptable to the Sheriff and apparently the law.
Effectively a waste of everyone's time.
Wonder what the pathetic excuses will be this time?
Just couldn't resist letting you know.

btw I am not JohnT and he is not me - but I do know him!!

If that is correct then it doesn't surprise me in the least because that was the only stumbling block in the appeal application and I might add it was one which was considered. I'm sure it didn't come as a surprise to the applicants because it was a calculated risk not to take up the offer of a re-hearing?

However there were four points of appeal and it will be interesting to see what if anything was said about the other three?



Yes I'm sure you do.

have you a link to this story, i take it they cannot get a plate??? or has the whole plate issue been thrown out.

There is no story, the case only went on this morning. I'm sure the full facts will be known soon enough.

Sheriff even got a standing ovation when he said "it is not up to a Sheriff to make a decision on whether a council should or should not grant the licence of taxi unless in exceptional circumstances of which this is not"

Back to the drawing board or will we once again hear "This is all part of the master plan, we fully expected to look stupid at this appeal."

(aka whoever JD thinks he is today!!)

Well as per usual Scottish Sheriffs seem to be detached from the legislation. This Sheriff should familiarise himself with the law and if it was me I would most definitely appeal.

But thank you for that input Mr Gladstone.

If the council's offer to re-consider has been given approval by the court, then exactly what is lost other than a few months wait.

Of course the council now admit they got it wrong first time around, so let's see if they make up for their errors next time.
