Exclusion of the Press and Public
Decision
That under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public were excluded from the meeting during consideration of the item of business at minute no 6 on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act as the Panel was satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

Review of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Licence

Resolved
That the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Licence be REVOKED under the provisions of Section 61(1) (b) ‘Any other reasonable cause’, however the Sub-Committee did not consider that the revocation should take immediate effect as the applicant had a right of appeal to the Scarborough Magistrates Court against the decision. The right of appeal must be exercised within 21 days of the receipt of notification, in writing, of the decision made at this hearing.
