Private Hire Driver Who Missed Time Limit for Appeal Has Licence Restored Without a Hearing

Laura Newton represented a Private Hire Driver who had his licence revoked by TfL because a number of concerns over his fitness to be licenced licence was revoked, but he did not receive his letter until after the appeal window. He took immediate advice from SBC when he was made aware of the revocation. We lodged an urgent application to appeal out of time and also contacted TfL Licensing Team to see if a resolution could be agreed without a Court Hearing. Our client had his licence restored by TfL and was able to get back to work within a matter of weeks and without the additional expense and delay of having to attend at Court.
