80 Review of exclusion order

(1A) An exclusion order given by the NICC, or at the direction of the Commissioner of Police, may not be challenged, reviewed, quashed or called into question on any grounds whatsoever before any court or tribunal in any legal proceedings, or restrained, removed or otherwise affected by proceedings in the nature of prohibition or mandamus.

(1B) A person who is given an exclusion order by the casino operator on application made by another party who considers the person has a problem from gambling activities may apply to the casino operator for review of the order.

(2) An application for review must be made in writing and must specify the grounds on which it is made.

(2A) The casino operator must review the exclusion order and notify the applicant in writing of its decision within 14 days (or such other period as may be prescribed by the regulations) of receiving the application.

(2B) An exclusion order that the casino operator allows to stand may be reviewed by the NICC on application made to it by the person to whom the order applies within 14 days after receiving notice of the decision to allow it to stand.

(3) The NICC may make such inquiries as it thinks fit into the question of whether or not the exclusion order should be overruled.

(6) If the decision of the NICC is to overrule the exclusion order, the decision operates to revoke the order but does not prejudice the right of a casino operator or person for the time being in charge of a casino, acting in good faith, to give a further exclusion order to the person affected.

(7) An application for review of an exclusion order does not stay or otherwise affect the operation of the order pending the casino operator's or the NICC's decision on the application.
