Explanation
Rule 23(1) second proviso requires all returns due from the cancellation order to the revocation order to be furnished within thirty days from the date of the revocation order. The application was within ninety days of service, so it is in time. The seven working days period applies to replying to a REG-23 notice, which is a distractor.
