Regulation 7 London pedicab operator’s licence: persons subject to immigration control
Paragraph (2) applies if—
an operator’s licence is to be granted to an applicant, and the applicant, or any associated persons to the applicant where their interest in the applicant requires them to live and work in the United Kingdom, has been granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom for a limited period (“the leave period”);
the applicant or associated person’s leave has not been extended by virtue of section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971; and
apart from paragraph (2), the period for which the licence would have been granted would have ended after the end of the leave period.
The operator’s licence must be granted for a period which ends at or before the end of the leave period.
Paragraph (4) applies if an operator’s licence is to be granted to—
an applicant;
any associated persons to the applicant, where their interest in the applicant requires them to live and work in the United Kingdom,
who has been granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom for a limited period; and
the applicant or associated person’s leave has been extended by virtue of section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971 (continuation of leave pending variation decision).
The operator’s licence must be granted for a period which does not exceed six months.
An operator’s licence granted to an operator ceases to be in force if the person to whom it was granted or any associated person to the operator to whom the licence was granted becomes disqualified by reason of the person’s immigration status from operating a pedicab.
If paragraph (5) applies to an operator’s licence, the person to whom it was granted must, within the period of seven days beginning with the day after the day on which the person first became disqualified, return it to TfL.
A person who, without reasonable excuse, contravenes paragraph (6) is guilty of an offence.
A person guilty of an offence under this regulation is liable on summary conviction—
to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale; and
in the case of a continuing offence, to a fine not exceeding ten pounds for each day during which an offence continues after conviction.
