Judgment

The decision under review 1. The applicant, Peter Larney, seeks the review of the decision made on internal review by the Roads and Maritime Services (the respondent) on 29 May 2015 to affirm the decision to refuse the applicant's application for an authority to drive a taxi-cab. 2. I note that there is a typing error in the delegate's internal review decision which, while referring to the application for authorisation to drive taxi-cabs, affirms the decision to refuse his application to drive "buses".
