Grounds:
I was not the owner on the day in question.
Argument. In line with the London Tribunal's Chief Adjudicator's comments in their Annual Reports, the ability of a registered keeper to transfer liability on the grounds of being a 'vehicle-hire firm' and there being in existence a 'hiring agreement', as happened in this case and which representations were accepted by the authority, is subject to strict examination in the context of regulations, in particular:
The Road Traffic (Owner Liability) Regulations 2000
Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
Specifically in this case:
The vehicle was not supplied to the appellant under a 'hiring agreement', which by law cannot exceed 6 months' duration, but under a lease with a term of 4 years. The grounds of being a 'vehicle-hire firm' etc. therefore do not apply and the authority were not permitted to accept such grounds and issue a NTO to the lessee, that is to say the appellant.
Further representations to be made upon receipt of the authority's evidence.
