I am certain I have read case law which found that it was unreasonable for a local authority to refuse granting a licence until a vehicle had been bought - the theory being the expense of purchasing a vehicle on the 'off chance' was unreasonable.

Does anyone else recollect this and can you point me in the right direction??

Thanks

It was Cannock Chase-v-Aldrit in (I think) 1993. 8-[

The judge said that having to have a fully insured vehicles bought and paid for, before a decision was made, was an 'onerous' one, and was there simply to deter applicants. :wink:
