7 Additional responsible persons for class 3 items—the Act, s 15

(1) For the Act, section 15(3), the last registered operator of a class 3 item for which there is currently no registered operator is a responsible person for the item.

(2) However, if the last registered operator has disposed of the item to another person, the other person is a responsible person for the item instead.

(3) If the last registered operator has disposed of the item to another person within the previous 3 years, the other person is a responsible person for the item only if the last registered operator produces written evidence of the disposal.

Note—

Class 3 items are motor vehicles—see the Act, section 8(1). For obligations under road transport legislation relating to disposal of registered motor vehicles, see the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2017, clause 38(1).
