Clause 36

Presumptions for this Part

(1)

It is presumed, until the contrary is proved, that a person alters (whether in the course of repair or otherwise) any personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle as to render it a non‑compliant personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle if it is proved —

(a)

that the accused had possession of the personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle;

(b)

that the personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle, as the case may be, was not a non‑compliant personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle when the accused acquired possession of it; and

(c)

that at the time or soon after the personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle (as the case may be) ceased to be in the accused’s possession, the personal mobility device, PAB or bicycle is non‑compliant.

(2)

If in any proceedings for an offence under this Part it is proved that a person sold, or offered or displayed for sale, more than 4 personal mobility devices, power‑assisted bicycles or bicycles within a 12‑month period to any other person or persons, it is presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary that the person was selling personal mobility devices, power‑assisted bicycles or bicycles (as the case may be) in the course of business during that period.

(3)

However, nothing in subsection (2) precludes a person who sells, or offers or displays for sale, 4 or fewer personal mobility devices, power‑assisted bicycles or bicycles within a 12‑month period to any other person or persons from being found to be selling such devices or bicycles in the course of business.
