Holding

The appeal was not premature, and the verbal decisions made against the Appellant were unlawful due to lack of written reasons and a fair hearing.

Facts

Jaset Enterprise Ltd applied for a Road Service License from NTSA on April 29, 2016. NTSA delayed in making a decision, and the Appellant filed an appeal at the Transport Licensing Appeals Board (TLAB).

  2. Whether the Appellant's constitutional rights to a fair administrative action were violated.
  3. Whether the Appellant should have been given a license based on having 14 vehicles.
