33. A person that has been assigned an “unsatisfactory” or “conditional” safety rating by the Commission shall not transfer or otherwise dispose of heavy vehicles registered in the person’s name except with the consent of the Commission; the Commission shall withhold its consent if it considers that the transfer or disposal is to be made for the purpose of avoiding the imposed administrative measure.
The first paragraph applies, with the necessary modifications, to every owner or operator of heavy vehicles who is the subject of an inquiry made by the Commission to determine whether the owner or operator is attempting to avoid the application of this Act. The paragraph also applies to every owner or operator of heavy vehicles whose file is referred to the Commission for the imposition of an administrative measure, from the transmission to the Commission of the file maintained by the Société in accordance with section 22 or, in other cases, from the transmission by the Commission of a prior notice under section 37.
