21 Revocation of permit—additional reasons

(1) A permit may be revoked by the Commissioner if—

(a) the Commissioner is satisfied that it is not in the public interest for the permit holder to continue to hold it, or

(b) the Commissioner is satisfied that the permit holder no longer has a legitimate reason for possessing or using the firearm or the ammunition to which the permit relates, or

(c) the permit holder becomes subject to an apprehended violence order.

(2) The Commissioner may revoke a permit for any reason for which the permit holder would be required to be refused a permit of the same kind.

Note—

A permit that authorises a person to possess or use a firearm is automatically revoked if the holder of the permit becomes subject to a firearms prohibition order—see the Act, section 30(3A).
