necessity in Central London


Nor is a bus or a train. You can walk all the way across Central London
in about an hour and a half.

People use buses and trains because they're more convenient than
walking. Well, people use taxis because they're more convenient than
buses and tubes.


And it depends on the definition of "necessity". If walking (or taking
bus/tube) means you'll miss the last train home, how necessary is that?

OK, going to the theatre isn't "necessary", but ultimately that argument
would bring a great deal of civilisation to a halt.

You don't wear high heels, I take it.

I think my name might give you a clue as to the answer to that question,
really... ;)

The term
"mandatory injunction" also looks rather technical and is without
context as we do not know exactly what TfL did ask the Court for.


A "mandatory injunction" is an injunction explicitly ordering someone to
do something, rather than (as is more common) ordering them not to do
something. It used to be called a "writ of mandamus" before all the
terminology got updated.

I can see the disconnection, then.
TfL says it has successfully ordered Addison Lee to do something.
Addison Lee says it has not been told to stop doing anything.
