Rehearing of order removing licence disqualifications—never-eligible offences
221F Rehearing of order removing licence disqualifications—never-eligible offences
This section applies to a person if—
the Local Court makes an order under this Division removing licence disqualifications of the person, and
the person had, before the making of the order, been convicted of a never-eligible offence.
Transport for NSW may, after becoming aware that the Local Court has made an order under this Division removing the licence disqualifications of a person to whom this section applies—
notify the relevant registrar of the Local Court that the person had, before the making of the order, been convicted of a never-eligible offence, and
if the person makes an application for a driver licence—defer the application until the matter is reheard by the Local Court.
The Local Court, after being notified as referred to in subsection (2)(a), is to reopen proceedings on the application for an order removing the licence disqualifications and, if the Court is satisfied that the applicant had been convicted of a never-eligible offence before the making of the order, revoke the order.
If an order removing a licence disqualification is revoked, the licence disqualification that was removed is reinstated.
