Grant of renewals of passenger licences.
|
15.—(1) The Minister may refuse an application for a renewal of an annual passenger licence on one or more of the following grounds but on no other ground, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) on the ground that in his opinion the passenger road service to which such licence relates has not been carried on efficiently with a due regard to the requirements of the public during the currency of such licence or the last renewal thereof, as the case may be;
|
|
| |
(b) on the ground that in his opinion there was, during such currency, a breach of or a failure to observe or comply with one or more of the conditions attached to such licence;
|
|
| |
(c) on the ground that in his opinion there was, in relation to such service and during such currency, a breach of or a failure to observe or comply with the provisions of this Act and the regulations made thereunder;
|
|
| |
(d) on the ground that the licensee under such licence has during such currency been convicted of an offence (whether under this or any other Act) in relation to the said service or the vehicles used therein:
|
|
| |
provided that the Minister shall not refuse to renew an annual passenger licence on any of the grounds stated in paragraphs (b) or (c) of this sub-section, unless he is satisfied that the breach or the failure, as the case may be, was of so grave a nature or so frequent as to render his refusal to renew such licence advisable.
|
|
| |
(2) Whenever the Minister grants a renewal of an annual passenger licence, the Minister may amend (whether by addition, omission, or variation) in such manner as he thinks proper the conditions attached to such licence.
