We wholeheartedly support the efforts of the Save Taxi and Action for Cabbies groups to preserve the black cab trade. The effort has been incredible and should be applauded.
However we do have concern over the unpredictable and costly nature of legal court cases. As the old saying goes, “When things go to court there is only ever one sure winner, the lawyers!” For reasons unbeknown to most the powers that be are not sympathetic to the plight of the taxi trade. We have seen many times that being morally right or logical does not necessarily mean the law will find in your favour. In recent times we have seen the following high profile legal decisions go against the cab trade:- Cycle Super Highways
- Iconic Status of the black cab
- Uber’s use of Meters.
- Save Taxi homeless appeal
- The Magical Children’s Taxi Tour
- Taxi Benevolent London Association for War Disabled Taxi diary
- Albany Taxi Charity
- ELCO children’s funbook
- Save Black Taxi Xmas Appeal
