PUBLIC LOTTERIES ACT 1996 - SECT 21H
Withdrawal of approval or appointment of agent under conditions of licence
21H Withdrawal of approval or appointment of agent under conditions of licence
(1) The Minister may withdraw the approval or appointment of an agent of a
licensee under the conditions of a licence if the Minister is of the opinion
that the integrity or apparent integrity of a public lottery conducted by the
licensee is likely to be seriously prejudiced because of the criminal record,
character or reputation of the agent.
(2) An agent ceases to be an agent of
the licensee if the approval or appointment is so withdrawn, and any
arrangement under which the agent was appointed as the agent of the licensee
is taken to be terminated.
(3) The Minister is not to withdraw the approval
or appointment unless the Minister-- (a) has given the licensee and the agent
notice, in writing, of the proposed withdrawal, and
(b) has invited the
licensee and the agent to make representations to the Minister, within the
period specified in the notice, concerning the proposed withdrawal, and
(c)
has, after the end of that period, considered any representations so made.
(4) The withdrawal of the approval or appointment takes effect-- (a) on the
day that is 14 days after the day on which a notice advising the licensee and
the agent of the withdrawal is given to the licensee and the agent by the
Minister, or
(b) if a later day is specified in the notice--on that day.
(5)
It is taken to be a condition of any arrangement under which a person is
appointed as an agent of a licensee that, in the event of the termination of
the arrangement because of the withdrawal of an approval or appointment under
this section, the licensee does not incur any liability to the agent by reason
only of that termination (except to the extent agreed on between the licensee
and the agent).
