Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

A company cannot register if it is a banned person. You also cannot register a company if it is in liquidation. The company's name must still be on the register of companies kept under section 360(1)(a) of the Companies Act 1993. If someone in charge of the company is not allowed to register on their own, the company cannot register either, as stated in section 24. The company's registration as a motor vehicle trader must not have been cancelled in the last 5 years under section 42.
