Temporary suspension of licence
49 Temporary suspension of licence
The Minister may take action under this section, without prior notice to a licensee, in order to secure compliance by a licensee with a direction given to the licensee by a notice under Division 2 of Part 5.
Note.
Division 2 of Part 5 enables the Minister to give directions to licensees, contractors and other persons engaged in the conduct of totalizators to protect the integrity of totalizators and to require the termination of arrangements between licensees and contractors, and the employment of key employees, for a similar purpose.
If the Minister considers it necessary or expedient for the purposes of this section, the Minister may, by notice, suspend a licence—
until a date specified in the notice of suspension, or
if the notice so specifies—until the Minister, being satisfied that the relevant direction has been complied with, further notifies the licensee.
As an alternative to total suspension of a licence under subsection (2), the Minister may partially suspend a licence (for example, in respect of the conduct of a totalizator at a specified racecourse or premises or for a specified event or contingency) until a date or the happening of an event, as referred to in subsection (2)(a) and (b).
