### sec.76 Powers in support of seizure
To enable a thing to be seized, an inspector may, by written notice given to the person in control of the thing, require the person—
to take it to a specified reasonable place by a specified reasonable time; and
if necessary, to remain in control of it at the place for a reasonable time.
If, for any reason, it is not practicable to make the requirement by a written notice, the requirement may be made orally and confirmed by written notice as soon as practicable.
A person must comply with a requirement under this section, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.
Nothing in this section prevents an inspector making a further requirement under this section of the same person or someone else in relation to the same thing, if it is necessary and reasonable to make the further requirement.
