REASONS FOR DECISION

This is an appeal to the Upper Tribunal brought by Mr Qasim Saleem, the sole director (“the director”) of MS Foods Ltd (“the Appellant company”), against a decision of the Traffic Commissioner for the East of England Traffic Area (“the TC”), contained in a letter dated 9 October 2023. The TC had, in that letter, outlined his decision to revoke the Appellant’s operator’s licence with effect from 4 October 2023, and indicated that he was considering making a disqualification order.

This appeal was considered on the papers, with the consent of all parties.
