130. Until 30 June 1988, the Commission may issue a trucking licence to an applicant who satisfies the requirements prescribed by this Act and the regulations, if any, and who possesses the qualifications required to carry on the activities for which the licence is sought.
Where an interested person objects to the issue of the licence, however, the Commission shall call the parties to a public hearing. It may then refuse to issue the licence if the applicant fails to establish that the licence should be delivered according to the criteria applicable before 13 January 1988.
The second paragraph does not apply to a duly filled out application for a licence pertaining to a service referred to in any of sections 17 to 20.
