Commentary Part 3: Bus Services Section 35: Appeals where proposed continuation considered exempt
111.This section inserts a new section 131E into the TA 2000. It provides a right of appeal to the Transport Tribunal against a decision by a local transport authority that a proposal to continue a scheme in operation was an exempt continuation proposal, or against a decision to proceed with a proposal that it considered (rightly or wrongly) to be exempt. Section 131E provides that such an appeal may be made on a point of law or a question of fact, and sets out the powers of the Tribunal on such an appeal.
