We have today watched the Oral Hearing at the High Court via video link. We can confirm Justice Robin Knowles decision was to not grant permission for a Judicial Review.
We have done all we can to ensure the safety of the travelling public which is TFL's primary duty to protect passengers. Our view is it beggars belief that a serial offender can have 14,000 incidents of insurance fraud and still be allowed to continue to operate under Appeal for a further 8 months.
UTAG's view is that protecting the travelling public should have been dealt with expressly by TFL and not put back into the hands of the Magistrates Court, where Uber have already appeared, after being found to be a not fit and proper Operator in 2017.
TFL's decision has undermined the whole licensing regime, and one has to ask themselves what does a Private Hire Operator need to do to be suspended or revoked?
In closing, we should like to thank all of you for your invaluable ongoing support and we hope you and your family are keeping safe during these challenging times.
Kind regards
