Termination of registration by Registrar N.I.

57.—(1) The Registrar may terminate a person's registration in respect of any description of driving instruction if he is satisfied that any relevant prescribed condition has not been complied with in the case of the person–

(a) in a case where his registration has not been extended under Article 56, at any time since he became registered; or

(b) in a case where his registration has been so extended, at any time since it was last extended.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1) “relevant prescribed condition” means–

(a) in the case of a registered disabled instructor, a condition prescribed under Article 53(7); and

(b) in any other case, a condition prescribed under Article 52(3).

(3) The Registrar may also terminate a person's registration in respect of a description of driving instruction if the person's registration, or (if the person's registration has been extended) the last extension of his registration, was made by mistake or procured by fraud.

(4) The Registrar must, on making a decision to terminate a person's registration in respect of any description of driving instruction, give notice in writing of the decision to the person together with particulars of the grounds on which he is terminating it.

(5) A decision to terminate a person's registration in respect of any description of driving instruction shall take effect at the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given (or, if any appeal brought against the decision under Article 59 is previously withdrawn, when the appeal is withdrawn).

(6) But the Registrar may, when giving notice of his decision to terminate a person's registration in respect of any description of driving instruction, direct that the decision shall instead take effect–

(a) where no appeal under Article 59 is brought against the decision within the time limited for the appeal, on the expiration of that time;

(b) where such an appeal is brought and is withdrawn, on the withdrawal of the appeal;

(c) where such an appeal is brought and is not withdrawn, in accordance with Article 59(4) or any direction under Article 59(5).
