(1) Where the Commission is satisfied that a person who is authorized by a licence granted under section 14 above (in this Act referred to as a “licence holder”) is contravening or has contravened and is likely again to contravene any of the conditions of his licence, the Commission may by Order make such provisions as are requisite for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition. (2) In determining the extent of the Order to be made, the Commission shall consider in particular the extent to which every person is likely to sustain loss or damage in consequence of anything which, in contravention of the relevant condition, is likely to be done, or omitted to be done. (3) The Order made under sub-section (1)– (a) shall require the licence holder (according to the circumstances of the case) to do, or not to do, such things as are specified in the Order; (b) shall take effect at such time, being the earliest practicable time, as is determined by or under that Order; and (c) may be revoked at any time by the 29 (4) In this section “contravention”, in relation to any condition of a licence, includes any failure to comply with that condition and “contravene” shall be construed accordingly. (5) Nothing in this section shall supersede the authority of the Commission to cancel a licence under section 29.
