sec.259 Requirements about stop directions
A direction given to a person under section 258 (a stop direction ) may be given orally or by written notice (a stop notice ). However, if the direction is given orally, it must be confirmed by written notice (also a stop notice ) given to the person as soon as practicable. A stop direction may be given for a thing at a place occupied by a general operator or another person involved in the conduct of approved wagering. A stop direction does not apply to a use of the thing carried out for repairing or testing the thing. A stop notice must state— the grounds on which the inspector believes the thing is unsatisfactory; and the circumstances (if any) under which the stop direction may be cancelled.
