Revocation of licence

(1) Notwithstanding section 6A(3), the Board may at any time revoke a licensee’s gaming licence if– (a) it is entitled to take enforcement action against the licensee under section 8E; or (b) the licensee has failed to commence or ceased to carry on the gaming business for which it was licensed. (2) The Board may, on the application of a licensee, cancel the licensee’s gaming licence, subject to such conditions as the Board considers appropriate. (3) Subject to sub-section (4), before revoking a gaming licence under sub-section (1), the Board shall give written notice to the licensee– (a) stating the grounds upon which it intends to revoke the gaming licence; and (b) containing a statement to the effect that unless the licensee, by written notice filed with the Board, shows good reason why its gaming licence should not be revoked, the gaming licence will be revoked on a date not less than 14 days after the date of the notice. (4) If, on the application of the Board, the Supreme Court is satisfied that it is in the public interest or to the interests of any of the customers or creditors of a licensee that sub-section (3) should not have effect or that the period referred to in sub- section (4)(b) should be reduced, it may so order. 20 (5) An application under sub-section (4) may be made on an ex parte basis or upon such notice as the Supreme Court may require.
