Cancelling Taxi Licences
The Wellington City Council wants power to review and, if necessary, cancel taxi drivers’ licences for reasons other than physical incapacity or incompetency. At its meeting this week it was said that legal advice was to the effect that the regulations as they stood did not empower the withdrawal of a licence for any other reason—for example a serious breach of the taxicab regulations. The city solicitor was authorised to approach the Commissioner of Transport for a “satisfactory Amendment” to the Motor Drivers’ Regulations, 1940, to give local authorities, as issuing authorities, this power.
