67 .         Power to revoke licence

        (1)         The Commissioner may allege to the State Administrative Tribunal that there is proper cause for disciplinary action, as mentioned in subsection (1a), against a person who —

            (a)         holds a licence; or

            (b)         held a licence when the conduct giving rise to the allegation occurred but who no longer holds a licence.

        (1a)         There is proper cause for disciplinary action against a licensee —

            (a)         if the licensee does not meet the requirements described in section 52(1)(c), (e), (f) or (i); or

            (b)         where the licence is held on behalf of a partnership or body corporate, if the partnership and any of the partners or the body and any of the body’s officers, as the case may be, does not meet the requirements described in section 52(1)(c), (d), (e) or (f); or

            (c)         if there is power to cancel an endorsement on the licence under section 68; or

            (d)         if the licensee has committed a breach of a code of conduct prescribed as being a proper cause for disciplinary action against a licensee under section 94(2); or

            (e)         if the licensee or a person referred to in paragraph (b) has contravened, or failed to comply with —

                  (i)         a provision of this Act; or

                  (ii)         the licence or a condition or restriction to which the licence is subject;

                or

            (f)         it would be contrary to the public interest if the licensee were to continue to be licensed.

        (2)         If, in a proceeding commenced by an allegation under subsection (1) against a licensee, the State Administrative Tribunal is satisfied that proper cause exists for disciplinary action, the State Administrative Tribunal —

            (a)         may —

                  (i)         revoke the licence of the licensee; or

                  (ii)         cancel an endorsement on the licence under section 24 or 26; or

                  (iii)         suspend the operation of the licence for a particular period;

                and

            (b)         if an order is made under paragraph (a), or the licensee is a person referred to in subsection (1)(b), order that the licensee be disqualified from holding —

                  (i)         a licence, or a licence of a particular type or class; or

                  (ii)         a licence, or a licence of a particular type or class, that is endorsed under section 24 or 26,

                for a particular period not exceeding 3 years.
