Change in partnership
19 Change in partnership
If a licence is granted to a partnership and there is a change in the partnership—
where there is a new partnership—
the partnership must not continue to carry on business as a motor car trader unless it has applied for a new licence; and
if the partnership applies for a licence, it may carry on business as a motor car trader until the application is granted or refused as if the partnership were the holder of a licence; and
where there is not a new partnership—
a former member of the partnership must not carry on business as a motor car trader unless he or she applies for a new licence; and
if he or she applies for a licence, he or she may carry on business as a motor car trader until the application is granted or refused as if he or she were the holder of a licence.
The Authority may not refuse an application for a licence made by a partnership to which subsection (1) applies by reason only that a partner, or a person concerned in the management of, the partnership is not of good reputation or character or in any other way would not be a fit and proper person to be a licensee if the partner or person were to apply for the licence personally unless that partner or person was not a member of the former partnership.
