Scrap Metal Industry Act 2016

The Commissioner may, in circumstances prescribed by the regulations—

refuse to issue a certificate of registration under section 9, or

suspend the registration of a business under this Act, or

revoke the registration of a business under this Act.

If the registration of a business is suspended or revoked—

the Commissioner must remove the registration information for the business from the register kept under section 10, and

the scrap metal dealer carrying on the business must surrender the registration certificate to the Commissioner.

The Commissioner is not, under this Act or another Act or law, required to give reasons for refusing to issue a certificate of registration, or for suspending or revoking the registration of a business, if giving the reasons would disclose the existence or content of a criminal intelligence report or other criminal information.
