Timelines under Regulation 17 of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018 were treated as mandatory, and failure to comply vitiated the proceedings. The High Court found that, on the undisputed dates, the inquiry report had been submitted beyond the 90-day period prescribed under Regulation 17(5).
