✨ Money-lenders Regulations
Feb. 22.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 489
-
The provisions of Regulations 13 and 14 hereof shall not apply to applications for renewal of registration, unless the Magistrate in any case otherwise directs:
Provided that if the name of any person (other than owner or partners) responsible or proposed to be responsible for the management of a business appears for the first time as such in an application for renewal of registration, then the application shall, without the need of the Magistrate’s direction, be accompanied by testimonials relating to such person as prescribed by Regulation 13 hereof. -
Any person may, at any time before the hearing of the application, object to registration of a money-lender, or to renewal of such registration, upon any of the grounds set out in section 4 of the Amendment Act, provided that notice of such objection and of the grounds thereof is lodged in the Court in which the application is lodged.
-
When a Magistrate directs registration to be made or renewed, the Clerk of Court shall forthwith make the proper entry in the Register of Money-lenders, and shall issue to the money-lender a license on the printed form provided, in the form No. 4 in the Schedule hereto.
-
The fee required by section 2 of the Amendment Act to be paid by the applicant at the time of making his application for registration or renewal shall be paid by the Clerk of Court into his Law Trust Account pending disposal of the application. If the application is refused, such fee shall be returned to the applicant; and, if the application is granted, the fee shall be transferred to the Public Account, and the bank receipt forwarded to the Under-Secretary of Justice, together with a duplicate copy of the license.
-
Where a license is issued in respect of more than one registered address, a certified copy (on the printed license form mentioned in Regulation 19) shall be issued in respect of each registered address other than the principal office of business of the money-lender. Every such copy shall be certified as follows:
“Certified true copy of License No. . . . . . . . . . . . , Clerk of Court.” -
Application for registration of a new address shall be made in writing to the Clerk of the Court out of which the license was issued, and the original license shall be produced by the applicant. The Clerk shall, upon payment of the requisite fee, note the new address on the license, and shall issue a certified copy thereof in the prescribed form. The fee shall be dealt with as directed in Regulation 20 hereof.
-
Where a money-lender ceases to carry on his business at any registered address and applies to the Minister of Justice for a refund of portion of the license fee, as provided in the Amendment Act, the license and certified copy (if any) issued for exhibition at the address in respect of which the refund is claimed shall be surrendered to the Clerk of the Court out of which the license was issued, who, if the refund is made, shall cancel such license, or, if the case so require, cancel such certified copy and make an appropriate endorsement on the original license.
-
A list of the names of all persons holding money-lenders’ licenses as on a date to be therein specified, together with such other relevant particulars in the respective Registers, as the Minister of Justice thinks fit, shall be published in the Gazette during the month of May of each year. Supplementary lists may be published in like manner as the Minister may from time to time direct.
-
Any person shall be entitled to inspect the entries in the Register of Money-lenders upon payment of the sum of 1s. On payment of a further fee of 2s. 6d. any person shall, on demand, be furnished with a copy of any entry in the said Register, certified by the Clerk of the Court. Such fees shall be affixed in stamps to the search-book kept by the Clerk of Court.
