Racing Act 2002

The control body may suspend the licensed club’s licence immediately if the control body believes—

a ground exists to suspend or cancel the licence; and

the circumstances are so extraordinary that it is imperative to suspend the licence immediately to ensure—

the public interest is not affected in an adverse and material way; or

the conduct of racing by the club is not jeopardised in a material way.

The suspension—

can be effected only by the control body giving the club an information notice, together with a show cause notice; and

operates immediately the notice is given to the club; and

continues to operate until the show cause notice is finally dealt with.
