on Mon, 30 Apr 2012, David Cantrell remarked: Except for those of limited mobility, a taxi is rarely a public transport 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. -- Roland Perry |

wrote: 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. -- Clive D.W.

TfL says it has successfully ordered Addison Lee to do something. Addison Lee says it has not been told to stop doing anything. |
