Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts

SALE OF MOTOR VEHICLES ACT 1977 - SECT 14C

    (1)     The registrar must grant a licence renewal on application unless—

        (a)     the applicant for the renewal of a licence fails to establish that the applicant is eligible for the renewal of the licence; or

        (b)     the applicant does not comply with the requirements of section 14B that apply to the applicant.

Note     Failure to renew a licence within a reasonable period is taken to be a decision not to renew the licence (see ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008 , s 12).

    (2)     However, the registrar must refuse to renew a licence—

        (a)     if—

              (i)     an objection is lodged in response to a notice mentioned in section 11B (Notification of application); and

              (ii)     the registrar is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the objection is not frivolous or vexatious; or

        (b)     if an individual holds the licence—if—

              (i)     a police certificate indicates that the individual has been charged with, or convicted of, an offence; and

              (ii)     the registrar is satisfied, because of the charge or conviction, that the individual is an unsuitable person; or

        (c)     if a corporation holds the licence—if—

              (i)     a police certificate indicates that the corporation, or an executive officer of the corporation, has been charged with, or convicted of, an offence; and

              (ii)     the registrar is satisfied, because of the charge or conviction, that the corporation or executive officer is an unsuitable person.
