Mr Hughes was not in attendance.

The Senior Licensing Enforcement Officer presented a report which outlined the reason for the disciplinary hearing.

She advised Members that a hearing was called on the 4 June 2019 to determine the action to be taken but the applicant did not attend. The hearing was therefore deferred to the 11 June 2019 for determination.

She explained that as Mr Hughes was not in attendance again, they must make a decision to defer the hearing to a later date or continue with the hearing in his absence.

The Sub Committee made the decision to proceed with the hearing in the absence of Mr Hughes.

The Senior Licensing Enforcement Officer noted that the driver was issued with a licence to drive on 14 December 2018. He was required to provide a Disclosure and Baring Service (DBS) certificate to the Council.

She explained that Mr Hughes was given notice in writing to produce a DBS certificate on the 4 April 2019 and again on the 23 April 2019 but had failed to do so.

A Member asked if Mr Hughes was driving at that time and if so what company he was working for

The Senior Licensing Enforcement Officer explained that he was not driving at that time but wished to retain his licence. He was not employed by a company and was acting as a Private Hire Operator.

She further explained that Mr Hughes was visited by a Licensing Enforcement Officer at his residence and although was assured a certificate would be provided had failed to do so.

The Sub Committee had no further questions therefore adjourned to make a decision. The decision read as follows:

RESOLVED: “The Committee determines to hear the matter in the absence of Mr Hughes. Mr Hughes has been given two opportunities to attend before the Committee but has failed to do so. 

The Committee heard from the licensing officer who advised that the licence was issued to Mr Hughes on 14 December 2018 and was given notice to provide his DBS to the council on 04 April 2019 and again on the 23 April 2019 but failed to comply with that request.  A licensing enforcement officer also visited Mr Hughes at his property and he assured the officer he would supply the DBS but unfortunately still failed to do so.

The Committee have to ensure that taxi drivers are fit and proper people and providing a DBS certificate is part of that process.

The Committee cannot satisfy themselves that Mr Hughes is a fit and proper person as he has not provided a DBS certificate and on this basis have decided to revoke the licence”.
