According to House v Reynolds the court saw it the other way round and they stated the booking company was the agent of the driver/owner.

Now this was a hackney carriage case concerning hackney carriages and the imposition of a booking fee by the taxi company, Streamline Taxis. I don't see why the comments should not apply to P/H.

The judges comments as to agents might remedy the slight disagreement which has surfaced in this debate. Then again they might add more fuel to the fire? lol

So you have effectively placed a driver in the position that if anything goes wrong he is libel,

Two differnet cases altogether Gladen was about the need to obtain a private hire operators license in order to take private hire bookings. It had nothing to do with what constitutes an agent?

The "House" case does however relate to the association of Agents in relation to those performing the end product.

I'm not going to get embroiled in this current debate your having, only to say that according to House "your statement in relation to agents was incorrect".

In relation to the structure of boking agents, here is what was said by Justice Slynn who delivered the verdict.

"I should refer to one final argument addressed to the court by Mr. Farquharson, who said that section 55 related to an agreement made with the driver or with any person having or pretending to have the care of the hackney carriage, and he said that in the present case the agreement could not be said to have been made with the defendants, be it with the owner or be it with the driver, because the agreement was made with the organisation Streamline Taxis."

"In my view that argument does not prevail. The telephonist was in my opinion acting as an agent on behalf of the defendants, be it the driver or be it the owner, or, to put it another way, the agreement was being made with the owner and the driver through the telephonist".

The result is, therefore, that in my judgment there has here been an offence under section 55 of the Act of 1847 but not under section 58. Accordingly I would allow the appeal to the extent of saying that the conviction under section 58 in each case should be quashed.

And who actually wrote this post for you,,,,,,,, one of your other posts gave a long list of your past failures, your so-called ability to write did not help you on the picket line...... mind you I expect once you're used to failing it becomes a acceptable part of your life, you need not worry about my spelling and grammar, I do not, but for a child's mind like yours I suppose it's the best you can do, you have my sympathy, and so do the people you represent......
