Unfortunately we can't drill into people one rule to use in Cambridge

Local authorities (except in London) can do the same as in Cambridge to
regulate the trade.

Are you suggesting that in London minicabs *don't* have to be
pre-booked, under a regulation similar to the one in Cambridge?

No, just that the regulation works differently in a host of ways.

The part we discussing is "must be booked in advance".

Something shown on all hire cars in Cambridge but not in London. Other
places have clearer/larger signs than Cambridge.

The matter will not be finally decided - or decided at all - until it is
decided in a court.

Transport against London is not a court and their decisions can be
judicially reviewed.

But who's going to take it to court?

And who's going to prosecute individual minicab drivers (the ones who are,
otherwise, correctly registered and insured).

If TfL think there is no point as they wont win, who's going to do it? In
fact, who else has the right to do it

Any interested party could. The trade union(s) for taxi-drivers, for a
start.

And who's going to prosecute individual minicab drivers (the ones who
are, otherwise, correctly registered and insured).

The PCO (now operating under TaL) has strong form for this sort of
thing. Anything for a quiet life and to hell with the livelihood of the
taxi industry.

It originally decided to do nothing about Welbeck Minicabs and their
Renault Dauphines. History records that something happened nevertheless.

Isn't the point for them not going to the High Court that private
prosecutions have been taken out by the Licensed Taxi association?

TaL is not a judicial authority.

TaL is not a judicial authority.

Who are TaL and where did I claim they were a judicial authority? The
linked article claims they have taken legal advice which I assume they
procured from a qualified professional of some sort.
