Show cause process
34 Show cause process
Unless section 35 applies, the CEO must not make an order under section 29(1) or 30(1), (3) or (4) unless the CEO has first complied with this section.
The CEO must give the authorised towing service provider a written notice requiring the provider to show cause, within 30 days after the day on which the notice is given, why the towing business authorisation should not be suspended or cancelled, as the case requires.
If, at the end of the 30‑day notice period, the CEO is not satisfied that the towing business authorisation should not be suspended or cancelled, the order may be made under section 29(1) or 30(1), (3) or (4), as the case requires.
The CEO may make an order suspending a towing business authorisation within the 30‑day notice period if the CEO considers that the suspension is necessary in the circumstances.
