Lotteries Act 1997

A direction given to a person under section 179 (a stop direction) may be given orally or by written notice (a stop notice).

However, if the direction is given orally, it must be confirmed by written notice (also a stop notice) given to the person as soon as practicable.

A stop direction may be given for a thing at a place occupied by a primary licensee, a lottery agent or other person involved in the conduct of an approved lottery.

A stop direction does not apply to a use of the thing carried out for repairing or testing the thing.

A stop notice must state—

the grounds on which the inspector believes the thing is unsatisfactory; and

the circumstances (if any) under which the stop direction may be cancelled.
