This amendment would limit compensation so that, where the Registrar decides to refuse the instructor’s application under s127(1) of the RTA 1988 and that decision is successfully appealed after taking effect, it may only relate to any suspension imposed in relation to the application.

Amendment 20, in schedule 1, page 7, line 13, at end insert—

‘2A After subsection (8) of section 127 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52) (extension of duration of registration) insert—

“(9) Sections 128(7A) to (7G) and 131A apply in relation to suspending a person’s registration in connection with an application under subsection (1) above as if the references in sections 128(7A) to (7G) and 131A to—

(a) a notice under section 128(4) were references to a notice under subsection (5) above, and

(b) the removal of the person’s name from the register were (or, in the case of section 128(7E)(d), included) references to the refusal of the person’s application for the retention of the person’s name in the register.”’.
