15. Cancellation or suspension of licence
The Commission may cancel, or suspend the operation of, a casino key employee licence or a casino employee licence —
if the holder is convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment, or if at any time after the issue of the licence the Commission forms the opinion that the holder is not a fit and proper person to continue to hold the licence; or
if the holder fails to comply with any requirement of, or made pursuant to, these regulations or of any term, condition or restriction to which the licence is subject; or
if the licence has been granted or varied on false or erroneous information or if material disclosure was not made.
If the Commission cancels, or suspends the operation of, a licence, the Commission shall cause notice of the cancellation or suspension to be forwarded to the Operator.
It is a condition of every licence issued under these regulations that the Chief Casino Officer or the Commission may require the holder to furnish, after the issue of the licence, such further information or other matters as the Chief Casino Officer or the Commission considers necessary to determine whether the holder of the licence is a fit and proper person to continue to hold the licence, and that the holder comply with any such requirement.
It is a condition of every licence issued under these regulations that the holder shall comply with —
the rules for authorised games approved under section 22(2) of the Casino Control Act 1984; and
the procedures specified in any relevant direction given by the Commission under section 24 of the Casino Control Act 1984.
It is a condition of every licence issued under these regulations that the holder shall, within 7 days of being convicted (not being a conviction arising by reason of a modified penalty procedure, or otherwise not imposed pursuant to any hearing or proceedings) of any offence whatever, notify the Chief Casino Officer of that conviction, and the holder of such a licence who fails to do so commits an offence.
Penalty for this subregulation: a fine of $5 000.
Where the Operator becomes aware that the holder of a licence under these regulations has been convicted of an offence (being a conviction that is or should be notified under subregulation (3)) subsequent to commencing that employment or work, the Operator shall within 7 days thereafter inform the Chief Casino Officer in writing of the particulars of that offence in so far as those particulars are known to the Operator.
Penalty for this subregulation: a fine of $10 000.
Subject to subregulation (6), the suspension by the Commission of the operation of a licence shall have effect for such period as the Commission thinks fit and during that period of licence shall be taken not to be in force.
The Commission, after considering the recommendation of the Chief Casino Officer in relation thereto, may —
cancel the balance of any period of suspension imposed by the Commission; or
reduce any such period of suspension still to run by a period determined by the Commission.
