MINING ACT 1971 - SECT 56

56—Suspension and cancellation of miscellaneous purposes licence

        (1)         The Minister may suspend or cancel a miscellaneous purposes licence if the licensee contravenes, or fails to comply with, any term or condition of the licence or any provision of this Act.

        (2)         Before exercising powers under subsection (1), the Minister must comply with any stipulations in the licence relating to the taking of such action.

        (3)         If a licence is suspended or cancelled under this section, the licensee may, within 28 days of the suspension or cancellation, appeal to the ERD Court and the Court may, if satisfied that there is no proper ground for the suspension or cancellation, declare the suspension or cancellation void.

        (4)         The Minister or the ERD Court may stay the operation of the suspension or cancellation of the licence until the appeal is determined, withdrawn or struck out.

        (5)         The Minister may, as a result of an appeal to the ERD Court, reinstate a miscellaneous purposes licence to a date that coincides with the initial date of a suspension or cancellation, or such later date as may appear to the Minister to be appropriate in the circumstances.
