19 Notice of change of registered particulars and other information relating to motor vehicles

(cf s 19A MAA)

(1) TfNSW is required to notify the licensed insurer under a third-party policy in force in relation to a motor vehicle and, if requested to do so by the Authority, the Authority, of any change in any registered particulars relating to the motor vehicle which is notified to TfNSW.

(2) If, as a consequence of the change in ownership of a motor vehicle, a change in the place at which the motor vehicle is usually garaged or any other change, a higher premium would be payable in relation to the vehicle than the premium paid or payable under the third-party policy in force in relation to the vehicle before the change occurred, the licensed insurer may recover the appropriate difference from the owner as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction.
