Judgement handed down on Judicial Review

On Friday 06 December, the judgement on the Judicial Review taken by the Bus and Coach Association against the Department for Transport was given. The judgement dismisses the Bus and Coach Association’s case, rejecting their claim that the Department for Transport had acted unlawfully in its actions relating to the regulation of community transport. Judges also refused to grant a legal declaration as to what exclusively non-commercial purposes means and how it should be applied in relation to section 19 and 22 permits.
