Security Industry Act 1997

A licence may be revoked—

(Repealed)

if the licensee—

supplied information that was (to the licensee’s knowledge) false or misleading in a material particular in, or in connection with, the application for the licence or the renewal of the licence, or

contravenes any provision of this Act or the regulations, whether or not the licensee has been convicted of an offence for the contravention, or

contravenes any condition of the licence, or

(Repealed)

for any other reason prescribed by the regulations.

The Commissioner must revoke a licence where the Commissioner is satisfied that, if the licensee were applying for a new licence, the application would be required by this Act to be refused.

The Commissioner may revoke a licence by serving on the licensee, personally or by post, a notice stating that the licence is revoked and the reasons for revoking it.

The revocation of a licence by such a notice takes effect when the notice is served or on a later date specified in the notice.

The Commissioner may, by serving a further notice on the holder of a licence, cancel a notice revoking a licence before the notice takes effect.

For the purposes of subsection (1A), the Commissioner may have regard to any criminal intelligence report or other criminal information held in relation to the licensee that—

is relevant to the activities carried on under the class of licence held by the licensee, or

causes the Commissioner to conclude that improper conduct is likely to occur if the licensee continues to hold the licence, or

causes the Commissioner not to have confidence that improper conduct will not occur if the licensee continues to hold the licence.

The Commissioner is not, under this or any other Act or law, required to give any reasons for revoking a licence if the giving of those reasons would disclose the existence or content of any criminal intelligence report or other criminal information as referred to in subsection (5).
