Immediate suspension of an approval
77 Immediate suspension of an approval
The Minister may suspend the approval of a control body immediately if the Minister believes—
a ground exists to take disciplinary action relating to the approval of the control body for its code of racing; and
the circumstances are so extraordinary that it is imperative to suspend the approval immediately to ensure—
the safety of persons, or the welfare of animals, at a race meeting managed by the control body; or
the public interest in the code of racing is not adversely affected.
The suspension—
can be effected only by the Minister giving the control body an information notice about the decision to suspend it, together with a show cause notice; and
operates immediately the information notice is given to the control body; and
continues to operate until the show cause notice is finally dealt with.
