TRANSPORT APPEAL
Judge Upholds Decision
An appeal by the Railways Department against the granting of permission for a transport operator to use a third tourist vehicle in Christchurch has’been disallowed by the Transport Licensing Appeal Authority (Judge Archer).
The department appealed against a decision amending Mr G. R. Davis’s tourist licence, increasing the number of his vehicles to three. Judge Archer said that Mr Davis was unable to handle the whole of the work offered to him with two vehicles, and that he had showed that there was every prospect of an increase in tourist work in the near future, in which he hoped to share. “The grant of one additional vehicle authority to Mr Davis could not affect the Railways Department save to a very limited degree,” said Judge Archer. “This was a case, in my view, where the decision of the Licensing Authority should have been accepted by all parties, and where it is my duty to uphold him in the proper exercise of his discretion.”
