Regulation 17A was held ultra vires and void for exceeding delegated authority and impinging on principles of natural justice; regulation 18B(2) was severable and treated as ultra vires, while regulation 18B paragraphs (1) and (3) are intra vires and valid; a Gazette notice under reg.18B(1) may lawfully limit registrations and may be applied to pending applications; where a limitation is relied on the applicant bears the evidential burden to show the limit had not been reached; here evidence established entitlement to registration of 34 of the 50 vehicles applied for.
