Penalty for breach of conditions of licence

(1) Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with the terms and conditions of a valid licence granted to him under this Act commits an offence, and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars, or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years, or to both such fine and term of imprisonment, and the court, by or before which he is convicted may, in addition to any penalty it may impose, order the licence in relation to which the offence was committed to be forfeited and cancelled. (2) An order of forfeiture or cancellation of licence made under sub-section (1) shall be deemed for the purpose of any appeal to be part of the sentence for the offence; and the licence shall not be forfeited or cancelled under that order– (a) until the date of expiration of the period within which notice of appeal against the conviction or sentence may be given; or 47 (b) if notice of appeal against the conviction or sentence is duly given within the period aforesaid, until the date of the determination or abandonment of the appeal. (3) Where a licence is forfeited and cancelled in pursuance of an order made by the Court under this section, the Clerk of the Court by which the order was made, or the Registrar of the Supreme Court, as the case may be, shall send a copy of the order to the Minister for his information.
