Totalisator Act 2014

This section applies if—

a licensee has been given a disciplinary notice; and

after considering any written responses given within the 3‑week period in relation to the notice under section 49, the commission is satisfied that a ground for disciplinary action exists in relation to the licensee.

This section also applies if the commission is satisfied that a licensee has contravened a direction included in a reprimand under section 47 (2).

The commission may take disciplinary action against the licensee.

The disciplinary action may consist of 1 or more of the actions mentioned in section 47 (1) (a), (b) or (c).

Disciplinary action mentioned in section 47 (1) (a), (b) or (c) takes effect when the licensee receives written notice of the action or, if the notice provides for a later time of effect, at that time.

If the commission considers that the disciplinary action that should be taken is recommending to the Minister that the licence be suspended or cancelled, the commission must give the Minister a written notice stating—

its recommendation that the licence be suspended or cancelled; and

the reasons for the recommendation.

Note Only the Minister may suspend or cancel the licence (see s 51).
