16 Cancellation of licence

(1) A licence may be cancelled by the Secretary—

(a) if the licensee contravenes any provision of this Act or the regulations, whether or not the licensee has been convicted of an offence for the contravention, or

(b) on such other grounds as may be prescribed by the regulations.

Note—

Failing to comply with the conditions of a licence is a contravention of the Act.

(2) The Secretary must cancel a licence if the Secretary is satisfied that, if the licensee were applying for a new licence, the application would be required by this Act to be refused.

(3) A licence is cancelled by the Secretary by serving on the licensee a written notice stating that the licence is cancelled. The cancellation takes effect when the notice is served or on a later date specified in the notice.

(4) The Secretary may, by serving a further written notice on the holder of a licence, cancel a notice cancelling a licence before the notice takes effect.
