SERVICE LICENSE DISPUTE
SETTLEMENT AT GISBORNE. j
ALLEGATIONS WITHDRAWN.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Gisborne, June 2.
When two actions of Whitefields Motor Service against members of the No. 4 District Transport Licensing Authority were called before Mr. Justice Ostler in the Supreme Court this morning, Mr. Barnard, on behalf of plaintiffs, announced that the actions had been settled, defendants paying the plaintiffs the agreed sum. The charges which had been made against the defendants were now withdrawn and the plaintiffs were satisfied that the mistakes which had occurred had arisen from difficulties facing a lay tribunal in administering a somewhat harsh and inflexible Act of Parliament, combined in some degree with lack of familiarity with the conditions prevailing in the local transport business. The actions concerned the granting of a license to Whitefields in March last and a complete settlement was reached.
