EAC did not attend the meeting for the third time and a decision was taken in his absence.
In making the decision the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.
RESOLVED:
That due to EAC being convicted of an offence under the Equality Act 2010, involving him breaching his duty as a taxi driver, on the balance of probabilities he was no longer a fit and proper person to hold a Licence.
To revoke EAC’s Joint Hackney Carriage /Private Hire Driver’s Licence. EAC was given 21 days to surrender his licence.
