The Port Authority may suspend or revoke or, on application for a licence under section 6, refuse to renew the licence of a driver of a bus or taxi where, since the grant of the licence —
he has been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty, indecency or violence; or
he has been convicted of an offence under, or has failed to comply with any provisions of, this Law.
The Authority may suspend or revoke or, on application for a licence under section 7, refuse to renew a licence of an operator granted under that section where —
he has been convicted of an offence under, or has failed to comply with any provisions of, this Law;
there is conduct on the part of the operator which appears to the Authority to render him unfit to hold a licence to act as an operator of a bus or taxi; or
there has been any material change, since the licence was granted, in any of the circumstances of the operator on the basis of which the licence was granted.
Where the Authority suspends, revokes or refuses to renew any licence under this section the Authority shall give to the driver or operator concerned notice of the reason for that decision.
Any driver or operator aggrieved by a decision of the Authority under section 13 or this section may, within twenty-one days after notice of the decision was given to him, appeal to the Summary Court.
The procedure on an appeal to the Summary Court shall be by way of plaint, and the Summary Jurisdiction Law (1995 Revision) and the Summary Jurisdiction (Civil Procedure) Rules shall apply to the proceedings.
On an appeal under subsection (4), the court may make such order as in all the circumstances it thinks fit.
The Authority may authorise the Port Director and any person acting under his authority to exercise all or any of the powers of suspension conferred on the Authority by section 13 and this section.
Any delegation under subsection (7) may be —
made either generally or as otherwise provided by the decision of the Authority granting the delegation;
made subject to such conditions and exceptions as may be provided in that decision; and
revoked or varied by a subsequent decision of the Authority.
