Public Carriage Office (PCO) Taxi Licence Appeals
If you want to become a taxi driver with Transport for London, you need to be a “fit and proper” person. TfL can refuse to issue you with a taxi driver’s licence if you are deemed not to be fit and proper. TfL can also revoke or suspend your licence for the same reason but you can appeal this decision.
Public Carriage Office (PCO) Private Hire Licence Appeals
If you want to become a private hire driver with Transport for London, you need to be a “fit and proper” person. TfL can refuse to issue you with a private hire driver’s licence if you are deemed not to be fit and proper. TfL can also revoke or suspend your licence for the same reason but you can appeal this decision.
Successful outcome for TfL licensed driver

Taxi Defence Barristers success in overturning TfL revocation
In court, we were able to prove that TfL clearly did not understand how the UBER app worked if they were arguing negative feedback on fares meant dishonesty.
TfL decide not to contest appeal following intervention from Taxi Defence Barristers
