Action struck out as bus company has license issued
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 16 June 2016, Express Bus Limited, a Dublin‑based operator of commuter, shuttle, school and private coach services, sought an injunction to prevent the Minister for Transport from cancelling its operating licence, which was due to expire at midnight on 15 June. The company had applied for renewal online and submitted all required documents, yet the Minister had not renewed the licence. The court heard that the only possible reason for the delay was a request for original documents that had already been submitted. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted the company permission to serve short notice on the Minister. When the case returned the following day, the Minister had issued the licence, rendering the action moot. Consequently, the court struck the case out, and Express Bus Limited resumed normal operations.
