GAMBLING REGULATION ACT 2003 - SECT 8.3.20

Taking disciplinary action

    (1)     The Commission may inquire into whether there are grounds for disciplinary action against the holder of a minor gaming permit.

S. 8.3.20(2) amended by No. 58/2011 s. 91(2).

    (2)     At the request of the Commission, a commissioner may conduct an investigation in relation to a permit holder and may make a report on the investigation to the Commission.

    (3)     If, following an inquiry or investigation under subsection (1) or (2), the Commission considers there are grounds for taking disciplinary action against a permit holder, the Commission may serve on the permit holder a notice in writing giving them an opportunity to show cause within 14 days why disciplinary action should not be taken against them on the grounds for disciplinary action specified in the notice.

    (4)     The permit holder, within the period allowed by the notice, may arrange with the Commission for the making of submissions to the Commission as to why disciplinary action should not be taken and the Commission must consider any submissions so made.

    (5)     If the Commission decides that—

        (a)     the permit holder is not a suitable person to hold their permit, the Commission may only vary, suspend or cancel the permit; or

        (b)     there are any other grounds for disciplinary action against the permit holder, the Commission may take the action—

and does so by giving written notice of the disciplinary action to the permit holder.

    (6)     If the disciplinary action is the cancellation, suspension or variation of the terms of a permit, it takes effect when the notice under subsection (5) is given or at a later time specified in the notice.
