So going back to my question, could I park my Hackney carriage outside dominos pizza in carlisle and take bookings called on to my phone?? I'm parked at a prominent position inviting customers to call me.

If not what laws am I breaking?

Surely if I'm pretending to be a private hire then I can only work through a private hire company?

I suppose the question is how the customer got your number. If it's via the cab, or via the driver having been asked, then a case for 'touting' could be made.

But other than that I doubt there is a law making the hire illegal.
