219Revocation or variation by Commissioner of Police

219 Revocation or variation by Commissioner of Police (1) A banned person may apply to the Commissioner of Police to revoke or vary the banning notice. (2) The application must be in writing and give reasons for revoking or varying the notice. (3) The application does not affect the operation of the banning notice. (4) The Commissioner of Police must consider the request and may revoke or vary the banning notice if satisfied that: (a) there are sufficient grounds for revoking or varying it; or (b) there are special circumstances that make it otherwise appropriate to revoke or vary it. Example for subsection (4)(b) A person is given a banning notice the night before the person's wedding. The wedding reception is to take place at the licensed premises from which the person is banned. The Commissioner of Police may decide there are special circumstances because of the number of persons attending the reception, the costs involved or the lack of alternative venues. (5) A banning notice ceases to have effect from the time the Commissioner of Police revokes it. (6) To avoid doubt, the provisions of section 217 apply to the Commissioner of Police.
