Please could you inform me, year ending 31/01/24 how many taxi driver revocations for driving offences were appealed at Magistrates court and of that number how many were overturned (successfully appealed). If possible I’d be obliged if you could supply that information by month of year.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Carter
