Who can apply for a suspension of a licence due to a fine default?

The ability to apply for a suspension of a licence due to a fine default is restricted to a prescribed person. This means that the application must come from a specific individual or entity that has been designated by law or regulations to have that authority. Typically, these prescribed persons may include officials or representatives from relevant government agencies or bodies responsible for overseeing licensing and regulatory compliance. This ensures that the application process is handled by those who have the legal standing and knowledge to deal with such matters effectively.

In this context, the other options either broaden the eligibility incorrectly or assign the role of application to those who do not hold the necessary legal authority. For example, permitting any individual to apply would open the process to those who may not have a stake or pertinent connection to the matter at hand. Similarly, allowing only the convicted person could lead to situations where the individual may not have the capability or willingness to pursue the suspension themselves. The court itself does not apply; rather, it deals with the enforcement or adjudication aspects of the law, which includes considering suspension requests as part of its judicial responsibilities. Hence, a prescribed person is the correct choice for applying for such suspensions.
