## About public inquiries

- **What a public inquiry is:** A hearing before a Traffic Commissioner (or a deputy) about an operator licence or an application. The commissioner hears the evidence and then decides: no action, a warning, conditions, curtailment, suspension, revocation or disqualification. Being called to an inquiry is not a finding against the operator.
- **What the sections mean:** Goods licences (Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995): section 26 regulatory action, section 27 the standard licence requirements (good repute, financial standing, professional competence), section 28 disqualification, section 13 or 17 an application or variation, and Schedule 3 a transport manager’s repute. PSV licences (Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981): section 17 revocation, suspension or curtailment, section 16 conditions, section 14 an application.
- **Where this list comes from:** Each traffic area’s Office of the Traffic Commissioner publishes inquiries in its weekly [Applications and Decisions](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/traffic-commissioner-applications-and-decisions) (goods) and [Notices and Proceedings](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/traffic-commissioner-notices-and-proceedings) (PSV) on GOV.UK. We read every issue, keep the licence number, date, time, venue and sections, and link each row to its notice. A hearing can be moved or cancelled after publication; the notice is the authority.
- **Who is listed:** Companies and other organisations, by name. Sole traders and partnerships are counted, never named. Transport manager inquiries are not listed: they concern a person, not a licence.
- **After the hearing:** The outcome appears in a later issue (section “Decisions taken at public inquiries”) and, for many cases, as a [written decision on GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/traffic-commissioner-regulatory-decisions). Both show on the licence’s page here. [Guide: what happens at a public inquiry](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/traffic-commissioner-public-inquiry)

Monitoring emails you when a licence on your list is called to an inquiry, usually weeks before anything changes in the DVSA file. [How monitoring works](https://haulierscope.co.uk/monitoring)
