I think the case in Tap in 2 Taxis revolves around the age of a person, not the time they have had full licenses. |

A 19 year old driver applied for a Hackney Carriage Drivers Licence earlier this year but because of her age the matter was referred to the Council's Licensing Committee. The Council had a condition of licence (a policy) that it would only licence drivers aged at least 21 and who have been driving for at least 2 years. The Council further conteneded that the age of the Appellant meant that they could not be satisfied that she was a "fit & proper person" to hold a licence. The Appellant argued that neither the Act of 1847 or 1976 required an applicant to be aged at least 21 and in fact the wording of the Acts made it clear that so long as an applicant had held a full drivers licence for at least 12 months then a licence should be issued, provided of course that she was otherwise fit and proper. The Appellant in this case was medically fit, conviction free and had held a full licence for 2 years and 7 months. The Appellant further argued that the condition of licence relied on by the council was unenforceable as there is no provision in the Act of 1847 or 1976 to attach conditions of Licence upon a Hackney Carriage Driver. Hackney Carriage Drivers must be regulated by way of "Bye-Laws" in accordance with s68 Town Police Clauses Act 1847. |
