Taxi compo cases going to EU

THE families of taxi drivers have taken their case for compensation to the European Parliament.

Their case will be heard today in Brussels with five members of FAIR, the organisation representing wives, children and widows of taxi drivers, giving evidence.

The overnight deregulation of taxis in November 2000 has put many of them in danger of losing their homes while others are suffering major hardship, according to Cathy Darling, chairperson of FAIR.
