PASSENGER TRANSPORT ACT 1990 - SECT 26

26 Variation, suspension or cancellation of service contracts

(1) A service contract may, at any time during its currency, be varied, suspended or cancelled by the Director-General if:

(a) there has been a serious or persistent failure to observe the terms and conditions of the contract, or

(b) the holder is convicted of an offence against this Act or the regulations with respect to the furnishing of information concerning the service.

(2) A service contract relating to a service other than a ferry service is automatically cancelled when the holder ceases to be an accredited service operator or ceases to be an accredited service operator of an appropriate kind.

(3) Nothing in this Act prevents the Director-General from making such arrangements as the Director-General thinks fit for the provision, by an accredited service operator, of temporary services in place of any regular passenger services for the time being discontinued by a variation, suspension or cancellation under this section.
