Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004

In this section —

This section applies if —

a court makes an order prohibiting a person from —

being in possession or having control or management of explosives; or

holding an approval which allows a person to be in possession or to have control or management of explosives;

the Chief Officer is given notice of the order in accordance with any requirements prescribed by the regulations.

In a case where this section applies, the Chief Officer —

must immediately suspend or cancel (as may be appropriate in the circumstances) any approval or exemption that allows the person to whom the order applies to be in possession or to have control or management of explosives; and

must suspend, vary or revoke any security card or other authorisation to the extent that the security card or authorisation would allow the person to whom the order applies to be in possession or to have control or management of explosives; and

must not, to the extent that would be inconsistent with the order, grant an approval, security card or other authorisation to the person to whom the order applies while the order is in force.

In relation to the suspension of an approval or exemption, the Chief Officer may, depending on the outcome of any court proceedings and as may be appropriate in the circumstances (and at an appropriate time) —

lift the suspension; or

cancel the approval or exemption (as the case may be).
