    (b)     ensure an application is made for the revocation of the warrant.

    (3)     If the ICAC is given notice that the warrant has been revoked by a Supreme Court Judge or Local Court Judge, the ICAC must take the steps necessary to ensure use of the surveillance device authorised by the warrant is discontinued immediately.
