flag A Stockton taxi driver was denied a licence over an unproven assault allegation, despite a clean record and claims of self-defense.

flag A Stockton taxi driver was denied a private hire licence after a council committee reviewed his arrest on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and affray, though no charges were filed due to insufficient evidence. flag Despite a 16-year clean record and claims of self-defence, the committee cited CCTV showing him swinging a chain during a disturbance, lack of de-escalation, poor insight during interviews, and prior unsubstantiated complaints. flag The decision, unanimous, reflected concerns over public safety. flag In two other cases, drivers received warnings for undisclosed convictions but were not penalized after the committee accepted their explanations as honest mistakes.
