### sec.97C Suspension orders If the tribunal is satisfied, on application by the commission, that a licence should be suspended, the tribunal may, by order, suspend the licence— for the period the tribunal considers reasonable; or until the holder of the licence (the suspended person ) complies with a condition imposed on the licence by the tribunal. The order may direct the suspended person to deliver the licence to the commission and include any other directions the tribunal considers necessary or convenient to give effect to the order. The tribunal may make an order under this section on application made without notice to the suspended person but, in that case, the tribunal must allow the suspended person a reasonable opportunity to show cause why the order should be rescinded. If the tribunal after considering the suspended person’s evidence and submissions, if any, and any further evidence or submissions of the commission, is not satisfied the order should continue in force, the tribunal must rescind the order.
