Private hire and Hackney carriage information and licence conditions - Exceptional circumstances

Set aside or amend standard conditions in particular cases without full amendment of conditions

On a case by case basis and only in exceptional circumstances the Committee may resolve to set aside or amend the private hire and hackney carriage standard conditions where it is appropriate to do so. 

In any given case, it will be appropriate to set aside or amend the standard conditions only in exceptional circumstances where to impose the standard conditions will lead to a result which the Committee considers wholly unjust and wholly unfair in the circumstances of the particular case falling for consideration. 

The setting aside or amendment of the condition will be specific to that case alone. The standard conditions will otherwise remain in place subject to the Committee’s discretion to amend them in the usual manner.
