A transferee, or the agent of a transferee, who acquires from a transferor a registered registrable mobility vehicle must, within 5 days after the transferor initiates the application to transfer mentioned in regulation 8(1) —

complete the application to transfer the registration of a registered responsible person for that mobility vehicle; and

apply to the Authority to transfer to the transferee the registration of a responsible person for that mobility vehicle.

An application to transfer the registration of a registered responsible person for a registered registrable mobility vehicle must contain or be accompanied by —

the respective identities and contact addresses of the transferor and transferee;

any information specified by the Authority relating to the eligibility of the transferee to be the registered responsible person for the mobility vehicle; and

any other information or document specified by the Authority to decide on the particular joint application by the transferor and transferee.

The Authority may request the transferor or transferee or both of an application to transfer the registration of a registered responsible person for a registered registrable mobility vehicle to provide evidence, in a form approved by the Authority, verifying any of the following:

the respective identities of the transferor and transferee;

the identity of the mobility vehicle;

the eligibility of the transferee to be the registered responsible person for the mobility vehicle;

if the mobility vehicle is acquired in accordance with an order of a court or any other legal process — the court order or process.

If a transferee, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with paragraph (1) in relation to a registered registrable mobility vehicle, the transferee shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —

in the case of a first offence, to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to both; and

in the case of a second or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.
