an unlimited period on any reasonable ground.
(2) The order
must—
(a)
subject to subsection (3), state the grounds on which the order is made;

out the rights of the excluded person to have the order reviewed by the
Authority; and
(c) be
given to the person against whom it is made personally or by sending it by
post addressed to the person at the last known postal address.
(3) If a person is
barred from the casino by order under this section because of information that
is classified by the Commissioner of Police as criminal intelligence, the
order need only state that it would be contrary to the public interest if the
person were not so barred.

been barred from the casino by order under this section, the licensee must,
within 14 days of the service of the order, be provided with—
(a) a
copy of the order; and
(b)
information that identifies the person,
(but a failure to comply with this subsection does not affect the operation of
the order).
(5) An excluded person
who enters or remains in the casino while an order remains in force under this
section is guilty of an offence.
Maximum penalty: $2 500.
(6) If an
excluded person is allowed to enter or remain in the casino while an order

force—

remove a person who is in the casino contrary to an order under this section.
(8) The Commissioner
of Police may at any time revoke an order under this section.

be by instrument in writing; and

be absolute or conditional; and

not derogate from the power of the Commissioner of Police to act in any
matter; and
