Cap. 65 Art. 56Non-renewal of road licence pending settlement of fine or penalty.

Where any fine (multa or ammenda) is awarded by a court of criminal jurisdiction, or where a Commissioner for Justice has

made an order for the payment of a penalty under the provisions of

the Commissioners for Justice Act, in connection with any offence under this Ordinance committed by the use of any motor vehicle,

and such fine or penalty, as the case may be, has not been paid, the

Authority shall withhold from renewing that motor vehicle’s road

licence on the expiry thereof until such time as the payment of the fine or the penalty is effected: Provided that this article shall not apply in the event that a renewal of a licence, a change in the name of the registered owner or the transfer of the road licence in respect of that vehicle is occasioned as a result of the said vehicle being acquired by virtue of a judicial sale by auction, held under the authority of the Courts, by the original vendor of the vehicle on account of non-payment of the purchase price.
