R v R

R v R

The notification requirements under s48(4C) and (7) Counter Terrorism Act 2008 apply to vehicles driven in the course of agency employment because the applicant acquires a right to use such vehicles, and the statutory language is clear, unambiguous, and justified. Any difficulties in notification may provide a reasonable excuse but do not negate the obligation.
