Securing compliance with licence

Cap. 222, s. 20 · Revised Edition 2020

(1) Where the P.U.C. is satisfied that a licensee is contravening or has contravened and is likely again to contravene any of the conditions of his licence, the P.U.C. may by Order make such provisions as are requisite for the purpose of securing compliance with that condition or conditions. 34 (2) In determining the extent of the Order to be made, the P.U.C. in consultation with the Minister, 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) An Order made under sub-section (1)– (a) shall require the licensee, 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 P.U.C. (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 P.U.C. to cancel a licence under section 22.
