the time at which the Society informs the person of the Society's decision by notice under clause 27;
the end of the period of 56 days after the notice is given to the person under this clause.
The notice under this clause must state—
the reasons for the suspension; and
that the person may make written representations to the Society about the suspension.
The person may make written representations to the Society about the suspension and the Society must consider the representations.
The Society may revoke the suspension at any time, whether or not in response to any written representations made to it by the person.
