Penalties

(1) The Minister may, by regulations, prescribe such penalties for the breach or non-observance of any regulations and for the aiding and abetting of any breach or non- observance of any regulations made under this Act as he may think proper not exceeding an amount equal to the royalties collectable on the chicle forming the subject matter of any breach or of five hundred dollars, whichever sum is the greater, or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both such fine and term of imprisonment. (2) Where no penalty is imposed by the regulations, the breach or non-observance of any regulation shall be punishable to the extent aforesaid. (3) The court may in addition order the cancellation of any licence granted under the provisions of this Act or of any regulations and the forfeiture of any chicle in respect of which a chicle offence has been committed, and any person whose licence has been cancelled under this sub-section or under any regulations shall be precluded for five years from obtaining or holding a licence under this Act and any regulations.
