Cap. 599 Art. 12Revocation or suspension of licence.
PART III
(1) The Superintendent shall have the right to revoke or suspend a licence at any time, by order upon the operator, if such operator:
(a) is in breach of any condition of the licence;
(b) is in breach of any of the provisions of this Act, or any other relevant Act or policy; or
(c) obstructs, impedes or hinders any person carrying out any duties or responsibilities thereunder.
(2) The Superintendent shall revoke or suspend the licence after drawing up a report containing the reasons why the licence should be revoked or suspended:
Provided that such report shall also include evidence of due warning to the operator that the licence shall be revoked or suspended unless action is taken in an appropriate time and manner.
(3) The written revocation or suspension, together with the reasons thereof, shall be served on the operator by means of a judicial act:
Provided that such revocation or suspension shall have effect from date of service.
(4) Without prejudice to sub-article (2), where the Superintendent is satisfied that urgent reasons for such revocation or suspension subsist, he may, by order served upon the operator, revoke or suspend a licence without prior notice.
(5) As soon as is practicable, after serving the order, the Superintendent shall also affix a copy of the order in a conspicuous place on the premises used as it may consider appropriate, and any person who in anyway defaces, erases, obscures, damages or removes the said copy of the order, shall be guilty of an offence against this article.
(6) An order shall cease to have effect upon the issue of a certificate by the Superintendent to the effect that he is satisfied that the necessary remedial measures have been taken by the operator.
(7) Any operator who fails to comply with any order shall be guilty of an offence against this article.
(8) Any expenses reasonably incurred by the Superintendent to carry out any order under this article shall be recoverable as a civil debt from the operator to whom the order relates.
(9) The Government, the Superintendent, and any public officer acting on the instructions or authority of the Superintendent shall not be or become liable for any acts done in good faith under this article.
