Director ban upheld by Upper Tribunal

摘要

THE UPPER TRIBUNAL has found that North East traffic commissioner (TC) Kevin Rooney was right to have imposed a five-year ban on the director of a crane hire company who coerced drivers into creating false tachograph records. It said evidence suggesting that Baldwins Crane Hire director Wayne Baldwin was the "driving force" behind a culture where drivers removed their cards while on site was "overwhelming',' despite much of it being hearsay. The company's O-licence was revoked last year (CM 18 August 2016). An application from sister company Baldwins Support Services is under consideration.
