(2) ICRC may, in writing, revoke a licence— (a) if— (i) in the past 5 years, the licensee has been convicted of 2 or more offences against this Act (other than a daily offence); and (ii) the offences involve a contravention of 1 or more licence conditions; and (iii) ICRC is satisfied that each contravention is material to the licensee’s continuing operations, having regard to the nature and scope of the activities to which the licence relates; or (b) if an annual licence fee, or any instalment, remains unpaid more than for 28 days after it is due for payment in accordance with the notice of the relevant determination under section 45.
