No one wants to be called to a public inquiry, but we can help prior to any enforcement actions or visits that can prevent this course of action. Although, in some cases this course of action cannot be avoided. RHN Consultancy Ltd have assisted the legal profession and Operators in matters where a public inquiry takes place.
The inquiry room can be an intimidating place and where severe actions can be taken against an operator, drivers, or operator person alike. As an expert witness in this field with over 35 years’ experience at public inquires across the UK, we can assist you in preparing for and providing a defence position to ensure your appearance in front of a traffic commissioner stands the best possible outcome for the Operator, driver or Transport Manager/Directors.
We work with the best transport defence solicitors in the UK and can direct you towards and work with a solicitor in preparing your case, along with representation at the public inquiry hearing.
Our reports are to the highest standard, produced and presented in accordance with Operator Compliance Audit Standards and written as expected of an Expert Witness for the benefit of a Traffic Commissioner.
We can also assist in the preparation and presentation of any evidence the Traffic Commissioner wishes to see (this is usually required 14 days before the hearing date)
We can also tailor a submission in consultation with your representing solicitor with regards to ongoing support from a support package designed to assist you ongoing from the decision at the hearing, giving the traffic Commissioner assurance that the Operator can meet and maintain ongoing compliance beyond the hearing, and addressing any shortcomings that may have contributed to the initial hearing, a process we have delivered many times previously to the satisfaction of the Traffic Commissioners. (see our support package page for further details, or contact us to discuss your requirements)
