The chief executive may cancel a substitute vehicle authority if satisfied— the motor vehicle stated in the authority does not comply with the vehicle requirements for a taxi service licence; or the motor vehicle stated in the authority has been used in contravention of section 180 ; or the holder of the authority has contravened, or is contravening, a condition of the authority. Before cancelling the substitute vehicle authority, the chief executive must give the holder of the authority a written notice— stating the chief executive is considering cancelling the authority; and stating the grounds for the cancellation; and outlining the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the grounds; and inviting the holder to show, within a stated period of at least 28 days, why the authority should not be cancelled. If, after considering all written representations received within the stated period, the chief executive is satisfied a ground exists to cancel the substitute vehicle authority, the chief executive may, by giving a regulation notice to the holder of the authority, cancel the authority. The holder of the authority must, within 14 days after the regulation notice is given, return the substitute vehicle authority to the chief executive, unless the holder has a reasonable excuse.
