If this section results in a person who has a special relationship with a casino contravening section 80 —
the Authority must notify that person and the casino operator of that fact; and

The termination of an association or employment in accordance with this section may be effected despite any other Act or any law, award or industrial or other agreement and the Authority does not incur any liability because of such a termination.
