Can I appeal if my taxi licence has been revoked?

Yes. If your taxi licence has been revoked, you have the right to appeal the decision at the magistrates' court. You typically have 21 days from the date of the decision to lodge your taxi licence revoked appeal. TaxiLaw handles the entire process - from lodging the appeal to representing you at the hearing. Contact us immediately to ensure you do not miss the deadline.

How long do I have to appeal a licensing decision?

The standard appeal window is 21 days from the date you receive notification of the council's decision. This applies to revocations, refusals, and suspensions. Some councils have slightly different timescales, but 21 days is the norm. The deadline is strict - late appeals are rarely accepted. Contact TaxiLaw as soon as you receive a negative decision.

Do you attend the hearing with me?

Yes. TaxiLaw provides full representation at both licensing committee hearings and magistrates' court appeals. We prepare your case, organise your evidence, arrange supporting references, and present your arguments on your behalf. You are not left to face the panel or the bench alone. We represent drivers at hearings across England and Wales.

How much does licensing representation cost?

Every case is different, and costs depend on the complexity of your situation, the type of hearing, and the amount of preparation required. Contact TaxiLaw for an initial assessment - we will explain the process, assess your prospects, and provide a clear breakdown of costs before you commit to anything. There are no hidden fees.

Can you help with both hackney carriage and private hire licences?

Yes. TaxiLaw represents drivers holding hackney carriage licences and private hire licences. The appeal process is the same for both types, though the specific issues and council policies can differ. Whether you drive a black cab or work through a private hire operator, we have the experience to handle your case.

The StakesRiskler

When Your Licence Is at RiskEhliyetiniz Risk Altindayken

Your taxi licence is your livelihood. If it has been revoked, refused, or suspended, TaxiLaw International provides specialist taxi licensing representation to fight the decision on your behalf. We represent drivers at licensing committee hearings and magistrates' court appeals across the UK, and we have been doing it for years.

Losing your taxi licence, or being told you will not receive one, is devastating. For most drivers, it means immediate loss of income with no clear path forward. If your taxi licence has been revoked, you have the right to appeal. The same applies if your licence has been refused, suspended, or if the council has attached conditions you believe are unfair.

The critical point: you have a limited window to act. Most councils allow just 21 days to lodge an appeal at the magistrates' court. Every day matters.

How We Represent YouNasil Yardimci Oluyoruz

Committee Hearing RepresentationKomite Durusmasinda Temsil

A licensing committee hearing is where the council decides the fate of your licence. Committee members are councillors - not judges - and the process can feel informal, but the consequences are anything but. TaxiLaw provides full taxi licensing representation at committee hearings: we prepare your case, organise your evidence, coach you on what to expect, and present your arguments to the panel. A well-prepared case presented by a specialist makes a significant difference to outcomes at taxi licence hearings.

Magistrates' Court AppealsSulh Ceza Mahkemesine Itiraz

If the committee has already made its decision and you want to challenge it, the next step is a taxi licence appeal at the magistrates' court. This is a formal court hearing with different rules and procedures. TaxiLaw handles the entire taxi licensing appeals procedure - lodging the appeal within the 21-day window, preparing the case bundle, arranging witnesses, and presenting your case to the magistrates. We represent drivers at taxi appeals at magistrates' courts across England and Wales.

Prosecution DefenceKovusturma Savunmasi

Some licensing issues go beyond revocation - drivers occasionally face criminal charges related to licensing offences. Driving without a valid licence, breaching licence conditions, or insurance-related offences can all result in prosecution. TaxiLaw provides taxi licensing solicitor representation for these cases, defending your position in court and working to protect both your licence and your record.

Licence Challenges & ReviewsLisans Itirazlari ve Incelemeleri

Councils sometimes impose conditions on a licence that are disproportionate or unfair - restrictions on working hours, vehicle requirements, or additional training mandates. If conditions have been attached to your licence that you believe are unjust, TaxiLaw can challenge them through the appropriate channels.

Konseyler bazen bir lisansa orantisiz veya adaletsiz kosullar dayatir - calisma saati kisitlamalari, arac gereksinimleri veya ek egitim zorunluluklari. Lisansiniza eklenen kosullarin adaletsiz olduguna inaniyorsaniz, TaxiLaw uygun kanallardan itiraz edebilir.
