Last week, Thursday 28 January, Rugby Magistrates court upheld a decision by Stratford-on-Avon District Council to refuse to consider a renewal application for a taxi licence because it had already expired.
The Court awarded costs to the District Council of £3,859.32 following the appeal brought by Mr Jeremy Slater-Brown.
The Court ruled that the District Council had not refused to renew the licence but decided that they were unable to consider the renewal application due to the fact that the licence had expired therefore there was no licence to consider.
Michelle Baird, Licensing Manager at Stratford District Council said: I am very satisfied with the result, knowing that the District Council had acted correctly. However it is very sad that it had to get to this stage as we do give ample time and notice for taxi licence renewals, writing to licence holders eight weeks before the licence expires.
