POPLA Decisions

That's a procedural mistake by Jamie Macrae?

If the appellant states that the vehicle is M1 type approved then it is for the operator to rebut that point and not the other way about - it is the operator who must provide evidence to show that the vehicle is commercial type approved.

The applying of livery etc does not make a vehicle a 'commercial vehicle' (for legal purposes) and, on the flip side, a commercial van with no livery does not suddenly become a non commercial vehicle.

What about an old guy who punts around in a Mondeo Estate doing a bit of window cleaning on the side - does his car become a commercial vehicle because he slaps a magnetic sign on the side saying, "Jim's Window Cleaning - Phone xxxxx xxxxxx"?

This is simply another assessment where the Assessor deviates from protocol because the correct protocol doesn't favour the operator.

Is there a thread for this case?

Agree it's a terrible decision. POPLA strikes again.
