Judicial Summary

Where a Traffic Commissioner determines a matter in conformity with the Senior Traffic Commissioner’s general directions, the Commissioner cannot have erred in law unless the Senior Traffic Commissioner’s directions were themselves unlawful. This follows from the requirement in section 1(2) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 for Traffic Commissioners to ‘act under’ general directions given by the Senior Traffic Commissioner.
