Every complete 16 in. of the length of an undivided seat shall be deemed to be a separate seat, and a length of seating-space less than 16 in. shall not be deemed to be a seat.

  1. Where, pursuant to section 15 of the Motor-vehicles Act, 1924, the registration of any motor-vehicle is cancelled on the ground that the vehicle has been destroyed, or has become permanently useless as a motor-vehicle, or has been permanently removed from New Zealand, and at the time of such cancellation there is in force in respect of the motor-vehicle a contract of insurance under the said Act, the insurance company with which such contract of insurance has been effected shall, on application in writing made by the owner of the motor-vehicle, and on being satisfied that the registration of the motor-vehicle has been cancelled as aforesaid, refund to the owner a sum equal to the one-twelfth part of the prescribed premium for every complete month between the date of the happening of the event which led to the cancellation of registration and the end of the term of the contract of insurance.

  2. From every premium paid in respect of any contract of insurance under the said Act, the sum of sixpence shall be deducted for administration expenses in accordance with the provisions of subsection (2) of section 15 thereof.
