The Traffic Commissioner for the East of England decided:
On considering the above evidence the applicant amended its application, seeking time limited authority under section 24(6) for 1 vehicle. Relying on the prima facie evidence against the statutory criteria, I was persuaded to allow that limited authority until 23:45 29 January 2021 by which time the applicant must satisfy me to the civil standard of proof that the statutory criteria are met and specifically by reference to:
- Contract of employment for the driver(s);
- Contract of employment/services to confirm the full-time commitment of the Transport Manager;
- Maintenance contract(s) to confirm the availability of Preventative Maintenance Inspection forms before the vehicle goes back into operation, brake testing arrangements, which comply with current DVSA guidance;
- Financial evidence verified statements from the operational bank account(s) for the recent three-month period, the average of which meets the prescribed sum.
The applicant is aware of the need to demonstrate continued compliance. Having failed to quarantine, they caused potential risk to other members of the public and potentially to the legal representative and members of the tribunal staff. It has tarnished the repute of the applicant and I do not expect to see such any such approach to safety in the future.
