Has your taxi or private hire licence application been refused?
A refusal can affect your ability to work, but depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to challenge the decision.
Taxi licensing decisions can involve matters such as DBS disclosures, driving history, complaints, convictions, or whether the licensing authority considers you a fit and proper person.
Strict time limits may apply to appeals, so seeking legal advice promptly is important.
Our Taxi Licensing team can advise you on your options and represent you throughout the appeal process.
