52 Cancellation of endorsements

(1)  This regulation applies to a shot-firing permit with more than one endorsement.

(2)  The Secretary, by notice to the holder of a shot-firing permit to which this regulation applies, may cancel any of the endorsements on the permit if the Secretary believes on reasonable grounds that –

(b) the conditions of the permit have been contravened in a material or sustained way as regards that specific endorsement; or

(c) there is another compelling justification for the cancellation.

(a) when the holder of the permit is notified of it under subregulation (2) ; or

(b) at a later time specified in the notice.

(5)  A notice under subregulation (2) is to inform the holder of the permit of –

(a) the cancellation of the endorsement; and

(b) the reason for the cancellation; and

(c) when the cancellation takes effect; and

(d) the right of review.
