Road Traffic Act 1960

175 Right of applicant or objector to appeal to Transport Tribunal

(1) A person who, having applied for a carrier's licence, is aggrieved—

(a) by the decision of the licensing authority on the application, or

(b) in the case of an application for a B licence, by a condition attached to the licence by the licensing authority,

may appeal to the Transport Tribunal.

(2) A person who, having duly made an objection to an application for a carrier's licence, is aggrieved by the decision of the licensing authority thereon, may, if the objection was one which the licensing authority was bound to take into consideration, appeal to the Transport Tribunal.

(3) The Transport Tribunal shall have power to make such order as it thinks fit on an appeal under this section, and the decision of the Tribunal on such an appeal shall be binding on the licensing authority.

(4) Where a person who has applied for a new carrier's licence, in substitution for a licence, other than a short-term licence, held by him and in force at the date of his application, appeals to the Transport Tribunal, the existing licence shall, notwithstanding anything contained in section one hundred and sixty-nine of this Act, continue in force until the appeal has been disposed of, without prejudice, however, to the exercise in the meantime of the powers of suspension, revocation and curtailment conferred by this Part of this Act.
