Substitute race meetings on suspension, &c., of registration
111 Substitute race meetings on suspension, &c., of registration
If a club's registration is suspended, cancelled or surrendered, the Commissioner may authorise Tasracing to hold a race meeting or betting-only meeting in substitution for any such meeting that the club could have otherwise held, whether allotted or not.
Any such authorisation – is to be in a form approved by the Commissioner (but must specify which racecourse is to be used for the substitute race meeting or betting-only meeting); and has effect for such period as the Commissioner determines and specifies in the authorisation; and may be rescinded before the expiration of that period if the Commissioner, having regard to any changed circumstances, thinks it appropriate to do so.
For the purposes of this Act – Tasracing is, in relation to a race meeting or betting-only meeting that it holds in the place of a registered club pursuant to an authorisation under subsection (1), taken to be the club committee of the club; and the records of Tasracing relating to such a meeting are taken to be the accounting records of the club.
An authorisation under subsection (1) does not confer on Tasracing any right to the use or occupation of a racecourse to which it would not otherwise be entitled.
