(This note is not part of the instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)
These Regulations elaborate on earlier Regulations prohibiting the operation of more than one licence in relation to any one vehicle.
They provide that a person may not operate more than one small public service vehicle (SPSV) licence in respect of a single vehicle. They also provide that no two or more people may operate a SPSV licence in respect of a single vehicle.
On change of ownership of a SPSV, the SPSV licence lapses and the existing licence-holder has until the date of expiry of the licence within which to transfer that licence to another vehicle. If the licence-holder fails to transfer the licence to another vehicle before the date of expiry of the licence, the licence will expire on that date.
