Reading that report by the acting TC, it sounds like they need to be told you’ve got until Feb to rebrand rather than you have to do it urgently. 2 months is plenty of time if they are serious especially at a time when much of transportation is slow.
Going to be interesting to see if they keep customers assuming they do actually manage to get a licence.
I don’t wonder how they are going to check if the other lot try to do things behind the scenes. By sounds of things, they don’t sound like they’ll actually keep away and its still the same family.
The acting TC did say they they better not be involved, but give it a couple of years for the heat to die down and let’s see what happens. I doubt the apple falls far from the tree. We’ll hear from them in a few years I suspect.
As a side note, the legal reps arguments really show they are slimey little [fb]. Luckily it was all very much disbelieved.

Disgraceful attempt by the original directors to claim that the convictions were spent and that since they had resigned days before the hearing they couldn’t be disqualified from holding an O licence…vile people, nemesis awaits.

See section 7.4 - both the original directors have been banned from holding an O’ licence for sn indefinite period. Also the other transport manager Rhodri Wyn has been disqualified too.
Apparently one of their legal bods argued that since they hadn’t attempted to get in the way of the changes, they were now of good repute. That didn’t go down well.
We need these TCs as high court judges as this one really didn’t mince their words and wasn’t taking any crap from the legal lot.
Talking of directors , I won an employment tribunal claim for unpaid wages and holiday pay .
I didn’t receive a penny because the two directors denied responsibility by using different trading names and their assets could not be acquired by sheriffs or court bailiffs as their assets were not in their name .
I was instructed by my solicitor to go to the farm and record trailer numbers as the solicitor was scared to go himself due to being scared of the loose farm dogs .One director used his wife’s name and different business names that no longer existed or were bankrupt.
The other one was told by his Dad not to trade in Wales as his Dad was high up with DVSA , so told to trade in England so not to embarrass his Dad on home turf .
That TC doesnt mince his words, cant fault him apart from describing CH Downton as a blue chip company. 
If you met SMED or DMKD in the street, you had better check your wallet and wristwatch were still there, sneaky little devils aren’t they?
