Peter McEvoy was accepting £500 a month from Stephen O'Sullivan to specify vehicles on his licence in the name of four operators. The terms of the fraud were laid out in letters from O'Sullivan to McEvoy found during an investigation into O'Sullivan's activities.McEvoy had a role in the fraud by allowing the margin on his licence to be used, Welsh traffic commissioner David Dixon heard. The licence holder was operating no vehicles of his own.
Dixon noted that three vehicles had since been specified on McEvoy's licence, the most recent in September. He held that what McEvoy had been doing had undermined the fundamental basis of the O-licensing system and made him unfit to hold a licence. Traffic examiner Anne Wood said that the investigating team had tried to interview O'Sullivan a number of times. She confirmed that all the vehicles concerned were now impound targets.
McEvoy failed to attend the Flint disciplinary inquiry.
