S.L. 499.56 Art. 38EAlterations to motor route bus.

(1) No person shall make, or allow or cause a motor route bus to have any structural or mechanical alterations in any form, without prior approval in writing from the Authority.

(2) A motor route bus licence may be revoked if the motor route bus no longer complies with the provisions of this Part of these regulations or if it no longer complies with any other requirements agreed between the bus operator and the Authority.

(3) Such revocation shall be effected by the Authority on its own motion or by order of a court of criminal jurisdiction: Provided that where the Authority revokes the licence on its own motion, it shall give the operator notice in writing setting out the reasons for its intention to do so. Every notice given shall state that the operator may, within ten days from service thereof, make representations in writing to the Authority giving reasons why the licence should not be withdrawn and the Authority shall consider any representations so made before arriving at a final decision. The Authority shall notify in writing its final decision to the operator. The operator shall have the right to appeal to the Tribunal against the decision of the Authority to suspend or revoke the motor route bus licence within a period of thirty days from notification of the Authority’s decision: Provided further that a decision of the Authority to revoke a motor route bus licence shall not become operative until the expiration of the period within which an appeal may be made under this regulation and, if an appeal is made within such period, the decision shall become operative on the date of the decision of the Tribunal dismissing the appeal or the date on which the appeal is abandoned.
