30 Action by Commissioner

(1) The Commissioner may undertake any inquiry and investigation in relation to the matters to which a show cause notice relates, and any submission made or evidence adduced by or on behalf of the licensee in relation to those matters, that the Commissioner thinks fit.

(2) If, after such inquiry and investigation, the Commissioner is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the ground of any show cause notice has been substantiated against the licensee, the Commissioner may do one or more of the following—

(a) cancel the licence, or suspend it for any portion of the remainder of its duration that the Commissioner thinks fit,

(b) attach one or more conditions to it,

(c) determine that a licence is not to be granted to the same licensee in future, unless one or more conditions are attached to it on grant.

(3) The Commissioner, on cancelling a licence, may specify a period during which the licensee cannot be granted a further licence, and such a specification precludes the grant of a licence to the former licensee during that period.
