(a) the holder fails to comply with a condition of the licence, or
(b) the holder, or owing to the default of the holder or any agent or member of staff of the holder, fails to comply with this Act or the regulations, or
(b1) without limiting paragraph (b), the holder provides a taxi service without being—
(i) authorised to provide the service, or
(ii) an affiliated provider, or
(c) the taxi service for which the licensed taxi is used has been or is being conducted in a manner that causes danger to the public, or
(d) for any other reason the Commissioner thinks fit.
Note—
The Commissioner may also vary the conditions of a taxi licence at any time (see section 60).
