Lotteries Act 1997

This section applies if—

a primary licence is amended under section 32(1)(c); and

the Minister asks the primary licensee to return the licence within a stated period of at least 7 days so the amendment may be endorsed on the licence.

The primary licensee must comply with the request, unless the licensee has a reasonable excuse.Maximum penalty—40 penalty units.

On receiving the primary licence, the Minister must—

amend the licence in an appropriate way and return the amended licence to the primary licensee; or

if the Minister does not consider it is practicable to amend the licence—issue a replacement licence, incorporating the amendment, to the primary licensee.

An amendment takes effect on the relevant day under section 32(3) and does not depend on the primary licence being amended to record the amendment or a replacement licence being issued.
