Summary of Case:	"Mohammed Aftab was wrongly convicted in 2014 of illegally plying for customers in his private vehicle. Aftab's defense was that he had accepted passengers in the mistaken belief they were customers who had booked his vehicle from a nearby location. He was sentenced to £190 fine, £20 victim surcharge, and £500 in prosecution costs. Aftab appealed. On January 15, 2015 the Crown Court quashed Aftab's conviction on the basis there was insufficient evidence he had any criminal intent, and thus, “As there was a reasonable doubt about the commission of an offence, the case could not be proved beyond reasonable doubt.”"
