Liquor Act 1992

This section applies if, after considering the accepted representations for the show cause notice, the commissioner—

still believes a ground exists to suspend or cancel the approval; and

believes suspension or cancellation of the approval is warranted.

This section also applies if there are no accepted representations for the show cause notice.

The commissioner may—

if the proposed action stated in the show cause notice was to suspend the approval for a stated period—suspend the approval for not longer than the stated period; or

if the proposed action stated in the show cause notice was to cancel the approval—either cancel the approval or suspend it for a period.

The commissioner must, as soon as practicable after making the decision, give written notice of the decision to—

the holder of the approval; and

if the commissioner knows or suspects the holder of the approval is employed by a licensee for licensed premises or a permittee for premises to which a permit relates—the licensee or permittee.

The written notice given to the holder of the approval must comply with the tribunal Act, section 157(2).

The decision takes effect on—

the day the notice is given to the holder; or

if a later day of effect is stated in the notice—the later day.
