194 Immediate suspension
The chief executive may immediately suspend a person’s booking entity authorisation, by giving a written notice to the person, if—
for a foreign person—
the person’s local nominee stops being a person mentioned in section 91ZD(2) of the Act; or
the person does not have a local nominee; or
a relevant person has taken steps to avoid detection of, or prosecution for, an offence committed by the relevant person or another person in relation to providing—
a booked hire service; or
a booking service for a booked hire service; or
a taxi service; or
the chief executive considers the suspension is necessary in the public interest.
Example of the public interest—
The chief executive considers the person is behaving in a way that is damaging to the reputation of public passenger transport.
The written notice must state—
that the booking entity authorisation is immediately suspended; and
the reasons for the suspension.
The immediate suspension has effect until the earlier of the following—
the chief executive gives the person a regulation notice under section 193;
the end of 56 days after the written notice under subsection (1) is given to the person;
the chief executive gives the person written notice ending the immediate suspension.
