139HSuspension and cancellation—show cause notice

#### 139H Suspension and cancellation—show cause notice (1) The Secretary may give the holder of a continued gambling authority or a gambling permission a show cause notice if there are reasonable grounds for believing that there are facts or circumstances that would justify the cancellation of the authority or permission under regulation 139I. (2) A show cause notice must: (a) tell the holder of the facts and circumstances that, in the Secretary’s opinion, would justify the cancellation of the authority or permission under regulation 139F; and (b) invite the holder to show in writing, within a reasonable period stated in the notice, why the authority or permission should not be cancelled. (3) A show cause notice may state that the authority or permission is suspended if the Secretary reasonably considers that the holder of the authority or permission has committed a breach of the terms of the authority or permission, or of an applicable State or Territory law, that is sufficiently serious to justify suspending the authority or permission. (4) If a show cause notice states that the authority or permission is suspended, the authority or permission is suspended from when the notice is given to the holder. (5) The Secretary may at any time revoke the suspension. (6) If the authority or permission is suspended and the Secretary has not dealt with it under regulation 139I within 90 days after the day it is suspended, the suspension lapses at the end of that period.
