"What the Registrar must do if a temporary order is made"

Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

If an interim order is made, the Registrar must do certain things. You will have your name entered on the register if you are appealing a decision to refuse your registration. The Registrar will also keep or put back your name on the register if you are appealing a decision to cancel your registration. The Registrar needs to know about the interim order to do their job. The court Registrar must send a copy of the order to the Registrar as soon as possible. This helps the Registrar fulfil their duties. You can expect the Registrar to follow these steps when an interim order is made. The Registrar's actions depend on the type of appeal you are making. The court Registrar's role is to send the order to the Registrar.

Miscellaneous provisions: Appeals against decisions of Registrar

66Duties of Registrar if interim order made

If an interim order is made allowing the appellant to carry on the business of motor vehicle trading, the Registrar must,—
in the case of a person who is appealing the Registrar's decision to refuse to register that person, enter that person's name on the register; and
in the case of a person who is appealing the Registrar's decision to cancel that person's registration,—
1. if the interim order is made before the cancellation takes effect, retain that person's name on the register; or
2. if the interim order is made after the cancellation takes effect, restore that person's name on the register.

To enable the Registrar to fulfil the duties imposed by this section, the Registrar of the court in which the interim order is made must send a copy of the order to the Registrar as soon as practicable.
