93 Cancellation of suspended licences
Where the operation of a licence or a permit relating to a licence is suspended, or is taken to have been suspended, and the Director after (where practicable) giving the holder a reasonable opportunity to make submissions or to be heard, is satisfied —
that the licensee does not intend to resume the business carried on in the premises, or on the site of the premises, for which the licence was granted; and
that the relevant period has elapsed from the day on which the licence or permit was suspended, or taken to have been suspended,
the Director may, by notice in writing, specify that the licence is cancelled at the expiry of such period as may be specified in that notice unless it is again in force for all purposes before the expiry of that period, and effect shall be given to the notice.
In subsection (1)(b) —
relevant period means 28 days or any greater period prescribed.
The Director may, on application, extend the period specified in a notice made under subsection (1).
