Article 5 Revocation of licences

Where the Department receives—

the Department shall by notice served on that person revoke the licence.

Where Article 4(4)(a) applies but the appropriate person is the Department, the Department must by notice served on the person to whom the fixed penalty notice or conditional offer was given or issued, revoke that person's licence.

Where the Department serves on the holder of a Great Britain licence a notice under paragraph (1) F4or (1ZA), the Department must send to the licensing authority in Great Britain—

Where the Department is sent by that licensing authority particulars of a notice served on the holder of a licence under section 3(1) F5or (1ZA) of the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995 (c. 13), the Department must by notice served on the holder revoke the licence.

A revocation underF6 this Article shall have effect from a date specified in the notice of revocation which shall not be earlier than the date of service of that notice.

In this Article references to the revocation of a person's Great Britain licence are references to its revocation as respects Northern Ireland; and, accordingly, the person ceases to be authorised by virtue of Article 19E(1) of the Order of 1981 to drive in Northern Ireland a motor vehicle of any class.
