The Judge in the Top Cars case doesn`t agree?

The Top Cars case: Mr Mahboob Khan, the proprietor of Top Cars, held an operator licence,
vehicle licences and driver licences all issued by Slough Borough Council. Windsor and
Maidenhead prosecuted Mr Khan, making a case that as he was not licensed by Windsor and
Maidenhead, he was not entitled to take work, or advertise for work, other than in Slough. Again,
the courts held that where the phone rang was where the operator licence needed to be issued and,
once issued, only Slough drivers and vehicles could be used; it did not matter where the service was
advertised or where the work emanated.

Nope it’s not breaking the law. The booking came though the office line, and gets diverted to the driver mobile, because it could be a customer that has change a booking time / pick up, all sort of things comes into play

I disagree with that, unless the booking is taken place within your licensing district.

Quite how that is enforced? :?
