We required advice and representation at a Public Inquiry with the Birmingham Traffic Commissioner and appointed Manjinder of Kang & Co after reading an article that he had published on Transport online. He achieved the best possible outcome for us at the Inquiry- our license was not revoked and our fleet was not curtailed. Manjinder was extremely knowledgeable and pragmatic, giving us a wealth of practical advice at our first consultation which will ensure that we are not in a similar situation again.

Transport Law Solicitors for Public Inquiries
If you or your business is called to appear before the Traffic Commissioner, it is crucial that you contact one of our transport law solicitors for a professional opinion about the case as soon as possible.
A Public Inquiries before the Traffic Commissioner can be called for several reasons however, they are usually called for one of the following reasons:
- Considering the Grant of a new Operators Licence
- Assessment of appropriate financial standing of the Operator
- Consideration of disciplinary action against the Operator or Transport Manager
Traffic Commissioners have the power to;
- Restrict your Operators Licence
- Attach stipulations to your Operators Licence
- Suspend your Operators Licence
- Remove your Operators Licence
- Disqualifying individuals from applying for an Operators Licence
Traffic Commissioners possess the power to declare that an individual does not meet the requirements to be a Transport Manager. This could have a detrimental impact upon the operators ability to adhere to the terms of the licence.
The outcome of a hearing before a Transport Commissioner will have a long-lasting impact upon the future of the business and sustainability of the business, even if the main function of your business is not transport. Manufactures that possess their own fleet of HGV’s could find themselves unable to distribute their product if the outcome of the Public Inquiry is negative. Given what is potentially at risk, it is important to instruct lawyers that have considerable experience within the are of law.
The lawyers at Kang & Co can assist with preparing you for the hearing and provide robust legal representation during the hearing.
Transport Law Solicitors for Driver Conduct Hearings
The Traffic Commissioner also regulates the issue and continued retention of LGV & PSV Licences. The power available to the Traffic Commissioner includes:
- Suspension of licences
- Revocation of licences
A suspension of a LGV or PSV licence is often dealt with by post in circumstances where a vehicle driver has been disqualified from driving by the Magistrates’ or Crown Court.
The Traffic Commissioner will often extend that disqualification be several weeks in order that when the driver receives his car driving licence back, the driver has sufficient time to become familiar with driving a car before again driving an LGV or PSV.
In a situation where a LGV or PSV licence is suspended via post, the driver can make written submissions to the Traffic Commissioner or alternatively a Driver Conduct Hearing can be requested. Our solicitors and barrister has assist with such matters as necessary.
