77 Cancellation of licence (1) Each of the following is a ground for cancelling a licence: (a) the licensee is in the custody of the Commissioner of Correctional Services; (b) the licensee has been found guilty of an offence against this Act or the Regulations; (c) the licensee has been found guilty of an offence relating to the cultivation, production, possession or supply of a drug; (d) the licensee has contravened a direction given under section 75; (e) the licensee otherwise appears not to be a fit or proper person to hold a licence. (2) If the Director believes a ground for cancelling a licence exists, the Director must give the licensee written notice: (a) stating that the Director proposes to cancel the licence; and (b) stating the ground for the proposed cancellation and the facts relied on to constitute the ground; and (c) inviting the licensee to make a written submission in response to the proposed cancellation within a specified period not less than 28 days after the notice is given. (3) After considering any written submission received from the licensee in response to the notice, the Director may decide to cancel the licence by written notice to the licensee if satisfied: (a) on the balance of probabilities, that a ground for cancelling the licence exists; and (b) that cancelling the licence is appropriate in relation to that ground.
